We are tired of dealing with teachers and administrators. Homeschooling is still a peaceful solution to our problem.
On the other hand, DS7 still wants to be homeschooled.
I soooo know the feeling...that's why we're hsing. I gave it 3yrs and it just wasn't working.
If you were to HS for a year, would you be able to go back to these schools?
I would most definitely check out the teacher for option #2 as a first step. If she doesn't tell you what you want to hear (that doesn't mean she'll do it but at least there's a chance) then you know where it leaves you. w/ a DD4, option 1 would be difficult but some make it work w/ audio books etc.
What are your reasons for not HSing? Some people have a calling for HSing, others like myself were what I call "reluctant" HSers who really had no other choice. It's been a successful year and DS and both survived. I feel he and I are closer and his love of learning has returned and he's able to tolerate boring subjects more b/c I keep it short and it's not busy work...it has a purpose.
