[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 196488, member: 1545"] Hi tinamaria- I'm jumping in a little late. I pulled my daughter out of high school in October of her freshman year of high school. She just could NOT function in the social context. She was being bullied and ostracized. It was the best thing I ever did. In our community there is an actual homeschooling network of other families that home school. The kids did service projects, field trips, gym classes, etc. There was even a co-op of sorts where a chemist homeschooling mom taught chemistry to 6 or 8 high schoolers etc. There are terrific curriculums for home schoolers. Don't feel like you have to 'teach'. I saw it more as facilitating learning. My daughter decided to return to a mainstream high school in her senior year. She was very far ahead in terms of credits. She had no trouble keeping up even with the harder core classes like economics and government. It is a fallacy that home schooled kids don't receive such a good education. I say it is superior. If a child is being exposed to all manner of meanness in the school setting - there is no way learning can occur. It is just too stressful. I would encourage you to check out homeschooling networks in your community and go visit a few homes to get a feel for what is available. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
