It is mind-boggling in this day & age that there is so much ignorance in the education field, isn't it? What an oxymoron.

Our youngest son (who's autistic) still is in public school but we've debated pulling him as well. <br /><br />There are lots of myths about homeschooling. It really isn't all that much extra work. If you look at the normal elementary school day, very little is actually spent learning. (due to reces, transition time between activities, waiting on classmates to answer questions during group sessions, etc). Home learning is extremely efficient. For early elementary, most learning occurs during playtime activities.<br /><br />Good luck!!!Lynannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416883491055528952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35201711.post-71967415679602587062007-01-13T15:13:00.000-07:002007-01-13T15:13:00.000-07:00What a beautiful and dedicated mother you are.

I hope you will still be able to take care of "you time". You really need it.

You are right though, KC has soooo much potential and you do not want him some place that the people working with him do not understand that.
