My wife and I home school our kids. Homeschooling doesn't mean your kids never see other kids (unless you live really isolated lives anyway). We found other home school families, there are associations, my kids take classes with other kids (Chemistry, an English class), they still participate in sports (there are lots of club sports leagues, and you should be able to get your kid into any sport at their local high school district).
Anyway, the socialization taught in school is often the wrong type of socialization. "here is how to talk and play only with kids your own age".
- hosteur 7y agoWould love to home school. Do you both work? Or only one of you?
- cwbrandsma 7y agoMy wife does not work. She wouldn't have made enough to pay for childcare anyway, plus this is what she really wanted to do in the first place (homeschool the kids). We also moved to a cheaper city where the cost of living is more affordable. We don't live in an expensive house, cars are used and payed for. You can make it work, but there are trade-offs. I will also mention: we have 5 kids. Oldest now in college, youngest in 4th grade.
