After homeschooling for years, being tied to a school schedule for 7-9 hours a day for a 3rd grader was just wicked torture.TZelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06779333783206151289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659062930854856449.post-69064354410154494252012-02-16T07:58:51.434-08:002012-02-16T07:58:51.434-08:00You will actually be losing friends? Like you wil...You will actually be losing friends? Like you will be shunned or not allowed to participate in homeschooled activities? Or is it more "de-facto" because the curriculum has a set schedule?<br /><br />I see both sides of the argument about using public curriculum vs. choosing your own. However, isn't the K-12 public school curriculum an issue of choice, too, which the homeschool community so embraces? You are just trying a different curriculum. If you don't like it, you can end it at any time, right?<br /><br />Some homeschooling moms are considering starting up an American Heritage Girl program as an alternative to Girl Scouts. A mom who sends her daughter to public school would LOVE to get into the program. However, they are limiting it to homeschoolers. Somehow, I don't think that is right. I don't know if I don't agree with totally shutting the world out or if I don't agree that we should be discriminating against public schooled kids.tandemingtrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13073789913368008346noreply@blogger.com
