You are lucky to be able to blend public school and home school where you live if need be. That is what I did when I lived in Illinois and found it to be the perfect fit for my son. Unfortunately, that option is not available where I am living now so I am testing the public school waters once again. Luckily, I am finding my son's teachers receptive to altering their expectations if my son suggests a different way to complete an assignment.Darcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474895637619727452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469192520927608112.post-2651452987901128202010-03-12T16:38:18.415-05:002010-03-12T16:38:18.415-05:00Up here, we have the option of doing both.

I wonder if something kind of in the middle might work well for you son - a combination of both homeschooling and public schooling.<br /><br />Personally, I'm firmly in the homeschool camp, and most of the advantages to public schooling that you mentioned I've found true in the classes, groups and activities we've done with other homeschoolers ;). <br /><br />But I also recognize that no educational choice is perfect and rarely does "one size fit all." The key is to be able to tailor your choices so that it's a better fit, even if it bunches here or there :), which sounds like what you've done.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642417312794814066noreply@blogger.com
