I am not an Anti-Public school, especially if your child has special needs. IMHO special needs children do better in school.

Please understand, however that homeschooling takes less time than public school. My 13 and 10 year olds finish their 10th and 9th grade work in two to four hours. The older one teaches the younger one. I know families with two working parents that homeschool and single parent family as well. Their children thrive. School is six hours a day but life is 24/7. Nothing says that you can’t school in the evenings or weekends.

And honestly, if your child is given the amount of homework that my kids were given in PS, you are half way there anyway. If you are volunteering for PTAs and in the class, you’ve given the time anyway. Only now it’s your kids and not anyone elses.

I do believe, “Whatever works for the kid.” but if I were in a more liberal area, I would do anything to HS my kids.
