kcab - how old are you kids?
I too find HSing difficult. I have a 8.5yr old and a 2yr old and a 5.5yr old who goes to public school K. The 8.5yr old is rather difficult to begin with. Our major problem has been a HUGE blow to his self-esteem since this is the FIRST time he didn't already know something and I actually had to teach it to him. He really shut down. So for those wondering about not being challenged in school - the detrimental effects can occur as early as 2nd-3rd grade depending on the child's personality.
I should add that the 1st quarter was quite an adjustment but our 2nd quarter was great! It's just this self-esteem blow at the start of the 3rd quarter coupled w/ lack of sunshine/outdoor play (and loss of computer privs for 2weeks) which has made for a VERY, VERY, did I mention VERY whiny boy. I don't have much patience for whiny.
