I am wrestling with the homeschool issue as well for many of the same reasons. I dont want him to think that he does not have to follow the rules of school/society. On the other hand Kriston I hear what you are saying and this keeps me seriously thinking of homeschooling. My worry is that financially I may not always be able to homeschool and will he adapt back into school or will he be less able to handle being back? The other very big issue is that DD7 is in a perfect school situation, great teacher, appropriately challenging and she is very adept socially BUT she will go crazy if her brother gets to homeschool and not her. I honestly feel that she is better off for now where she is but my two seem so jealous of each other.
