[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 40169, member: 1967"] kris ~ Could that be a state by state thing? I don't think that homeschooled students in Georgia can take any classes in a public school. I know for a fact that they can't participate in extracurricular school activities such as sports teams, plays, or school dances. Having said that, I think homeschooling is great for some kids. I am tutoring one student right now who is enrolled in an online high school and I help her with Algebra. JJJ ~ I would also go with your gut instinct. If you think Tigger would learn more at home because of his anxiety or attendance issues, I think you should go for it. I know in my area there are homeschooling groups. Maybe you could find a situation where Tigger could go to a class as part of a homeschooling group which would still give you a little time for yourself. I admire parents that are willing to take on the huge committment of homeschooling their children. Ironically, although I have taught for 27 years, I know that I wouldn't have been good at homeschooling my own children. For some reason, I have a lot more patience with other people's children than my own. Let us know what you decide to do. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
