We made the very drastic switch by pulling our daughter, Sarah, who is almost 12, out of sixth grade on Feb. 29 of this year and moving to a pretty much entirely "unschooled" system.<br /><br />She says to her counselor last week, when he asks her to tell her about homeschooling, "Well, we haven't started doing any school stuff yet."<br /><br />Insert mom falling through floor ... you know. But the counselor is nice and was able to get out of her all the things we WERE doing, and his pronouncement, which I really valued, is that she's certainly more engaged than she was in her previous school!Joan Conciliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037521306574698noreply@blogger.com
