Do any of you home school????

[tiniree]

Hi Everyone -

I would like to know (and forgive me if its been brought up but I couldn't find anything in the "search" mode) if any of you home school your kids?

Both my boys have ADHD (4 & 8) and and 8 y/o is really starting to slide. By slide, I mean he's slacking off because he's bored to tears! He passed the test at the beginning of the year for the gifted & talented program at school, but they only meet one hour each Wednesday. And to top it off, they pull the G & T kids just when the reg class is starting science (his favorite subject).

Add that to the fact that his teacher is NOT one of my favorite people, and we are constantly battling with the staff regarding the ADHD (like most of us) and we've had it with the school system!

We are seriously thinking about homeschooling him for a year to "try it out". Right now he gets "exceeds standards" on all subjects (even though the teacher is constantly telling us "he never pays attention!" and all the other typical comments.

I'd love to hear from other homeschooler's. How did you get started? Yearly cost? Are you enjoying it?

Thanks!

Tiniree, if you don't hear from anybody here about homeschooling, go to www.schwablearning.org and post there, some parents are homeschooling there, or www.ldonline.org/bulletin_boards/index.html, they have a homeschooling board and www.vegsource.com/homeschool
