Sing it, sister! I couldn't agree more.
And I hope you'll stick around the forum.

I am currently homeschooling my 7yo boy*, and I could use your experience and expertise as we go through the process. I'm especially interested in the mentoring you've used. We haven't gotten there yet, but I think we'll need to find someone for him sooner rather than later.
*We also have a 4yo boy--an extrovert--whom we're going to try at school and see how it goes. He loves pre-K, so we're hoping that maybe he'll love elementary school, too. Fingers crossed!
