Answer 1

Don't listen to those that don't understand. And especially don't take their insults. The person that picked on you about your sentence structure has missed the possibility that YOU are a product of the public-schools! All the better a reason to home-school. One of the things I really LOVE about homeschooling is that my children are all more smart than I. They were homeschooled from K-12 and are now age 23, 20, 17, and 15.

*You* have WISDOM and good sense. And YOU love your daughter. Kindergarten is absolutely the MOST fun time to work with your child. It is critical that she enjoy herself AND become completely prepared for the next level of academic work.

Homeschooling is the best option in the world. It gives students a chance to excel unencumbered by negative social peer-pressure. It keeps your child in a loving environment that is free of outside distractions.

There are many, many wonderful tools of learning that are available to home-schools. The internet is a good place to begin your search for wonderful kindegarten material. There are also stores that cater to public school teachers. These places will sell to you too!

Your kindergartner will thrive at home!!!! Who cares what the school thinks? The "school" is an indifferent group of strangers --- you are her mommy. Find a local home-school group or even just a few other families to get connected.

Check into the Robinson Curriculum too!

1) Who cares what the school thinks? Let them know your intentions and pull your kid out of school. They're YOUR children.

2) Don't listen to ANYONE who says that homeschooled children don't get social interaction. Your child can get that anywhere from church to the grocery store. When your child is cooped up for 8 hours in a class room, only allowed to talk with children their own age, only interactions with adults is learing how to follow orders, and can only talk to the others during lunch or recess....those things do not make good social interaction.
Your child will have more and better opportunities if they aren't cooped up with 30 other kids.

Do it. I'm surprised you even put your Kindergartener in school in the first place. I didn't.

Answer 3

You should definitly consider giving her homeschooling. I was home schooled the entire 12 years and have NO regrets. I am very close to my family and have plenty of friends. You should always consider your child first, not what other people think. You are there for your daughter and that is the way it should be. Besides, if you fource her into a school setting, it may only be torture for her and then lead to worse problems for you and your family.

Answer 4

I think she just wants to be like her big sister. I think it is important to go to public school at least for a couple of years. It is how little ones learn how to share and interact. I think she is just wanting to stay home where the majority of the people she knows is: Home. She will get used to Kin. it just takes time. Give her one school year and if she is still begging to home school I would consider it then.

Answer 5

Homeschool is usually always best if done right. Everyone knows homeschoolers are smarter. :) And they are not corrupted by the governments brainwashing!

Answer 6

Why are you worried about what the school thinks? YOU are the parent, YOU get to choose what is right for your children.

And don't worry about learning to share and interact. She has a sister--more than enough.

Answer 7

Judging from the quality of how you have composed your question, I would say keep your child in a public school where she can learn how to read and write competently.
