We looked into homeschooling, but one of my daughters is special needs. She needs some special reading tutoring, and the private school offers it every day. It's better for my daughter to have consistency. Plus, she has speech problems and some social problems, and being around nice kids is a great thing for her.
For my other daughter, she would be dragged around to tutoring and speech therapy for her sister. She'd be in the car more than anything else, and that's not a great school environment.
We've thought about homeschooling, but it just doesn't seem feasible for us right now.

There's nothing better for a special needs kid than homeschooling. In fact, many parents pull their special needs kids out of school for just that reason.

My sister-in-law has just started homeschooling her daughter and son who has Downs. Where there's a will, there's a way.
