[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 604114, member: 15473"] Since I am currently in a hotel personal conversations are slightly difficult but I dragged husband to Starbucks last night to discuss the options. At first he was adamant that he doesn't like the idea. But after a while of me explaining that homeschool now is not the "homeschool" of 30 years ago he was a little more open. Basically our main issue is the easy child is horrible with follow thru. She wants things then when she gets them she doesn't do the work. EX: her dog which she complains about walking, her diet which she gets mad at you if you mention, and her exercise routine that she refuses to do. NONE of those are things we initiated they are all things she wanted and now that she has them she doesn't want them any more. It is very frustrating when we are the ones who are supposed to support her but we wind up getting the eye rolls and the complaints if we attempt to do so. On the other hand we now live in Washington in a large area. Washington is known for being liberal and progressive and therefore they apparently have a large homeschool organization and population. I personally think it would be great for her to get caught up educationally and gain a little self esteem before attempting high school. So husband and I have decided to look in to it and possibly give it a try. Our major concern is that she wont put in the effort or this will be another thing we now have to fight about getting done. At least in main stream school her teachers had to handle the missed assignments. Now it will be all on us or her to make sure things get done. *Any suggestions on how to get a kid to do online studies and keep them doing them? [/QUOTE]
