We eventually decided to home-school her. This turned out to be one of the best decisions we ever made., but I was hesitant at first because I was worried about her social development. This proved to be absolutely the least of all our problems.
There were all kinds of support groups and extra-curricular activities available: sports, music, clubs, skating, drama, huge picnics with the families. I was amazed at the number and variety. Her best friends today are people she met at these activities.
Perhaps in a very rural area, socialization of a home-schooled child might be a problem; but in a city on even modest size, there will be plenty of activities available if you look for them.
BTW, my daughter will graduate from college this Spring - magna cum laude. She plans to get a PhD. A dad's got to brag a little!
You have every right to brag.You've raised someone from birth to adulthood,and it appears you've done a fantanstic job. Congratulations!Job well done!
