Rhode Island homeschoolers here.
We made the decision when our daughter was only 2 years old. The local school districts were applauding their 64% average for 4th grade level math, and 62% average in reading on their regional school Report Cards.
I simply cannot abide the public school's "Celebrate Mediocrity!" mantra.
Add to that the secular, anti-Christianity, pro-sex ed, pro-homosexual, liberal revisionist history curriculum they foist upon children, and it's a no-brainer that people should homeschool their kids.
If you're thinking of doing it, do it. Whatever it takes to afford it. Your kids are worth more than a 2nd car or family vacations to Disney World.
How's that little cutie doing, by the way?
