I hope to homeschool my kids someday when I have them LOL. I also always begged my mom to be homeschooled. I seriously applaud those who homeschool and are homeschooled because it takes a lot of hard work and commitment to be able to stick with it. I know many people who can not handle it.

I have neither the money nor the diligence to homeschool properly, but I do it anyway!
My eldest is 19 and graduated almost 2 years ago. He had a 3.9 gpr and did great on his ACT (especially the English and grammar and writing parts). He has postponed college briefly to work on an internet start-up, but has already been accepted at the UofSC where he intends to major in English or Education or whatever major ties in best with teaching English as a second language. He wants to use that (ESL) to travel the world a bit before he settles down. My 2nd son will graduate this year and then start technical college studying welding so that he can become a blacksmith (like my paternal grandfather). My Kimmy is only 13 and no longer knows WHAT she wants to study, but she has plenty of time to decide. Once upon a time she wanted to be a large animal vet, but she is too tender-hearted, and would never make it I fear.
Long-story-short...homeschooling is a wonderful thing, but just like many things, it is a calling, not a job. Not everyone is cut-out for it, and you have to really love spending lots and lots of time together. Not all families can survive the 24/7 togetherness.

That is so awesome @sadieml You are a serious inspiration for moms. And I was the same position as your daughter. I was going to be a Vet... I can not handle the sad of the job and to me, the good would not be enough to outweigh the bad.

Good for him.

I always say that if there are any fights "at school" I usually know who is at fault and can really deal with the problem, not just suspend both parties...AND we never get bomb threats!
