I have 3x kids homeschooling.

The youngest (11) hates it. She’s a social butterfly and misses her friends, her teacher, she just like going to school.

The Middle (14) loves it. She’s an introvert, very shy, is repelled by teen drama. She is excelling at homeschooling in a way she never did in school.

The oldest (18) doesn’t give a crap. He just hates school.

Sounds like your youngest could be accommodated longer term if plenty of group/club type activities were included.

Daughter has one of those who is soon to be 13. She is going to enroll him in the online K-12 for this next year. He’s happy about it so far.

I take it you’re just homeschooling because there’s no school right now and you wouldn’t be doing it otherwise , right?

We’re helping our kids with their online learning right now , 10 and 13

There are several ways he can finish his education and be paid while doing so: US Army, US Navy, US Marine Corps, US Coast Guard...

We homeschooled out four. Each kid is different.

The oldest two are very very literate. One is even a book editor for a publisher. The third is the geek of the family. He’s now an Astronatucial engineer.

The fourth is like your 18 year old. He’s very smart, but a hands guy, not a book guy. He’s a trucker and right now helping keep hundreds of men employed in the construction industry
