[QUOTE="Steely, post: 92869, member: 3301"] Welp............I did for 5 years. The good....he is 17, and not on drugs, running away, or in a gang. The bad....he is 17, and a recluse. He seems to have lost the drive to make friends and be part of a social setting. I am currently having to literally, push him back into a school setting in order for him to get his GED, go to college or vocational school, and go forward with his life. The ugly......I almost lost my sanity. He and I were always at each others throats. Overall........If I had to do it over again, I am not sure I would. It did stop his spiral of getting into trouble 24/7, but it did nothing for his self esteem. The only way I would do it over, is if I had a huge group of already established homeschool friends, we could hang daily with. We had many homeschool groups we were part of.........but it was not enough to fill the day...........and there were many, many hours in the day where he was alone, and isolated. Hope that helps?! I would go with what your gut says. You could always try it for a year, and see how it goes. [/QUOTE]
