Our kids are 11 and 6 and we've always homeschooled them. As a secular homeschooling family, our headaches aren't related to curriculums or anything academic-related (there are lots of good options and resources out there) but rather the lack of socialization options outside of the home. If your experience is like ours, you'll quickly discover is that most homeschooling families are very religious or pulled their children out of school due to some kind of behavioral issue.
That’s tough . Do you live in a rural area ? I find this is a lot easier in a place like San Francisco and NYC where there are more secular homeschoolers and more techies and teachers educating their kids at home for a better education /more mastery learning . Hopefully this will change for you as the population grows.
Have you considered reaching out to SEA homeschoolers for connecting w families near you ?
