I don't blame you a single bit for homeschooling. I homeschooled for a brief period of time..*about 1 1/2 yrs

However, I became really sick and could no longer do it. We had to decide between a private school or move to a better district..and we chose the latter. The crime rate is extremely low and the district is conservative...

I bet you can relate to this! The absolute, number one thing I loved about homeschooling, was watching them learn something for the first time. Grade cards simply tell us NOTHING about that.

FR is slow today so I'll check back in later..

Honestly, if I could move back to Berea, Ohio where I grew up, they would be in school. My hubby has looked for jobs there and it is dry. We have to do the best for our kids and this is best here.

You're right! I love it when they get it. When the six year old learned how to carry numbers two days ago, she was bursting at the seams! Her paper is hanging on the fridge and Daddy gave her extra hugs.

So true. My lovely wife does nearly all the home schooling, but I get to do some of the science and math that she knows I'm good at. What a joy to watch when they "discover" something for the first time.
