I homeschool my kids. Grades 3, 5 and 8.
It was a mix of both my emet and the ridiculous school system that finally persuaded me to do it.
I have been doing it for about 3 yrs now and have tried having then re-attend public school ( they had wanted to at the time) and they eventually always want to be taken back out again. My middle has some learning difficulties, that they are just not patient enough with and my youngest excels past her other classmates and gets bored. Plus she has sleeping issues that make it hard for her to be up early sometimes.
Even tho my husband is not emet, he has been thankful for the fact that we have successfully missed out on several outbreaks of things like mumps, measles, whooping cough and swine flu that have swept through the schools in our area.
