So Kenzie has moved to the academy and the kids have started back to school. I am not sure how I feel about all of this. Kenzie is doing wonderful and adjusting nicely. She certainly does have lots of homework and reading however she has found a society where she fits perfectly and she can relate to. This makes her happy and therefore makes me happy!!! The rest of the kids are bound and determined that I should homeschool them!!! Ugghhhhhh!!!! I understand the pros and the cons and I realize that more and more people are doing it, however I am not so sure I have the patience for it. At this point in our children's lives they have already developed the social skills needed to be successful in life as well as found their place in society, I am just not sure this would be a good fit for our family!!! As I have said in the past I am not "against" homeschooling. Just not sure it is the answer, something always keeps holding me back from taking that plunge. Yes I do think maybe one on one attention can make for a better academic success, but also the life skills you learn at public school as well as learning how to adjust to different teaching styles as well as learning where you fall in society are equally important. I believe if you lack these skills that when you go to get jobs later in life you will lack the ability to get along with different types of people. And at that point yout employer could care less how "smart" you are. So there lies my concerns I wish my kids could grasp this and understand where I coming from. I want the best for then in life. The decisions I make for them I do not take lightly. Wish there was a easy answer or a way we could do both homeschool and public. Oh the trials and tribulations of parenting!!!!!
