She loves teaching there! I was a teacher but do not want to be responsible for teaching Evie everything. It seems so daunting. Best of luck as you make your decision. It is an important decision.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988473379518407523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492198823193035235.post-30687820695779582472011-08-19T04:53:53.189-05:002011-08-19T04:53:53.189-05:00Sending Emily off to school scares me to death (be...Sending Emily off to school scares me to death (because of her anxiety and lack of sociability), but everyone I know would probably think we were crazy if we considered homeschooling. I, for one, don't think you're crazy and am very interested to hear/see what you decide! I feel the exact same way as you for reasons not to do it (not feeling disciplined enough but wanting to do it well, having no accountability, etc), but I also want my children with me as much as possible (and I know Steve does too). Anyways, wishing you all the best with your research and decision-making on the topic!Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938892906009496868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492198823193035235.post-73970053050856649512011-08-18T21:20:14.675-05:002011-08-18T21:20:14.675-05:00Coming from a kindergarten teacher, my feelings ar...Coming from a kindergarten teacher, my feelings are that once they start school they have about 16 years left of it if they go to college. If you are a family that reads to your kids, talks to them, and gives them healthy experiences and interactions you are preparing them just fine for kindergarten. If she wants or need social interaction there are severalnother options available. Just my two cents! Tbey are only little once and I want to be responsible for molding that little heart- not someone else!Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11096823009923369474noreply@blogger.com
