I've know kids who've BEGGED their parents to homeschool them and the parents refused.
Then they begged ME to homeschool them.
Kids HATE public school.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Wow! It would be hard to find truer words! This has been my experience as well.
Other children BEGGED me to homeschool them. Their parents abandoned them to all the social and educational pathology found in the government schools.
Again....Kids HATE government school!
