Perhaps even more, considering that the outcome of homeschooling is a net positive and not a drain on the community like many of the public schools 'products'.

Public education needs to be challenged in a competitive marketplace or its hegemony and power (of taxation, indoctrination) will never diminish.

What do you think so far? Do you schedule stuff to get your kids together with other homeschools?

We sent my oldest to K in public school last yr and noticed a decline in wanting to learn especially reading. I've got her confidence back up with that now and she is much more willing to try so even with just that I would say it's the right fit for us.

We have not done anything with other homeschoolers yet, I feel pretry alone in that regard. Im hopeing to get involved with other homeschooler next yr though.

Glad to hear it’s working out for your kid. I heard that there’s a pretty good network around here for homeschoolers to get together

I’d love to, my wife is 50-50. She wants the kids to be able to compete with others directly, I guess in the way public and even private schools are set up. That said, with the crazy bullshit being taught and going on at almost all schools these days, she’s just about seen enough..

Competition can be good, but I think in the early yrs especially it's not necessary and for some kids can be a negitive.
My daughter had some speech issues and with that and the poor way schools teach reading she just decided she wasn't good at it and didn't want to do something she was not good at. Her class mates doing well at it I'm sure didn't help her feelings either.

Since we did do one yr of public school though and it was not a very good experince it makes us feel more confident in our decision to homeschool.
