I understand this. My kids go to a catholic school. I am unfortunately not talented enough to teach them at home. I DO supplement their learnings though. Catholic school is skewed. But you know what? Public school is worse.

* Do not underestimate yourself about your ability to homeschool. My mother had a ninth grade education. She taught me to read from English colonial readers and these little red horn books. That was when I was three. I've never really learned anything in any school setting ever since then.

I know what you are saying. I've been on many threads lately with Domestic Church and Homeschoolmom. My problem comes with dividing the attention. NONE of my kids tolerate attention on one and not the other. It turns into a cycle battle. I've been told it is cause I have no control. But their confidence and self respect is extra ordinary. I see them at school stand up to high schoolers. So I refuse to break their spirit.

I don't know. I have no judgement on breaking them down. I have no control over grouping them and getting their attention. Yet, their grades are mastery on their state tests. My oldest is only 8. I have nothing to go by.
