Homeschool?
| Mon, 03-01-2004 - 4:00pm |
Do any of you mommies homeschool? My stepson is only 3, but recently I tried to get him into a pre-k program so he would have some social interaction, and learn at the same time. Well, his BM wouldnt help us pay and its a considerable amount of $$ - so, I was thinking that if I cant send him to school, maybe I would try a homeschooling program. I feel like its better than nothing. In a way, I am furious at her (BM) because I was kind of looking forward to having some alone time with my 7 month old daughter,should I feel guilty of that? How do I explain that to DH? Should we bite the bullet and pay for the school ourselves ( $120 A WEEK~!) or should I look into homeschooling? What do you think?

If it were me, I would spend the money. However, that seems a little much for pre-school. Is there a place that is good but a little less expensive? Have you checked the YMCA or JCC or other organizations in your area? You should be able to find a cheaper one or one that is for less days (therefor cheaper).
At this age it is less a function of "homeschooling", but more of a social issue. All parents teach their kids at this age.
I would never go back to public school, I love homeschooling for many reasons, the list is so long. I also use a special curriculum. My kids grades have increased tremedously. My oldest went from D's to A honor roll also he has a LD and has dislexia which is a challange. But for me to see his progess and not someone else is an amazement for me.
HS, is not for everyone, you have to really be devoted to it and want to do it... I personally love it and would do it no other way.
For more info. and support groups email me and I will give them to you...
Good luck
