but I will raise my hand for the roll call of mothers who expected to return to work when their child became school aged, but who are now planning a sojourn into homeschooling. It's a relief to think of homeschooling our equivalent of pre-K next year and following a wait-and-see approach for kindergarten. If he starts to do algebra in kindergarten, we'll know we made the right call. (I'm only half-joking there.)
I definitely didn't consider this when we started having children, never in my wildest dreams did I think I could possibly become a homeschooler! I was a public school advocate, loved working in elemenary education. This is all very mind blowing.
