I started HSing DS last year when he started 1st grade. He went to PS K, and although he did very well, he just was not being challenged at all. My IL's were very against it, and DH wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea of HSing. After just one month of HSing, everyone could see how DS was blossoming because he could go at his own speed. At that point they were all completely for it. And now MIL is my biggest cheerleader. DH is very supportive, too. And DS couldn't be happier.
I am planning to send DD to K in the fall. She is not as advanced as DS was, but she is already reading and writing. Because of the social aspect, I don't think she will be board, though. We will see how it goes.
My advice to you is to do what you feel is right for your child. Don't let others influence that. Once they see how well it's working for you and her, they will have no choice but to be happy too. LOL!
