I homeschool my DS-just7 and DD-almost 5 and have since the beginning. It is a lifestyle that suits us well. I love the fact that our 4 core subjects are Piano, Math, Foreign Langauge, and Morning Pages, which I make up for the kids each day and include a smattering of everything else. They fill the rest of their days with play, art, programming, poetry, story writing, puzzles, building, biking, and so much more. It isn't without its challenges, but I suspect they pale in comparison to those we would face advocating for them in the schools. I left a tenure track academic job for this life and I have no plans to leave it smile
