I am not saying home school is better than public, just that it is equal to a high school diploma. I am still learning.
And I hope you read the post from the girl who despised her parents decision to home school her. She will regret that for the rest of her life and it is just so darn sad.
Just how absolutely certain are you that you did the right thing by taking high school away from your kids?
I don't think that was Bree's EXACT words, she did want to be in School.
Point is THOUGH, this post is NOT about being IN school, it is HOME SCHOOLING.
There is a lot of positive replies here dealing with home schooling, and a couple of negative ones. I bet some of the ones fighting the idea so bad are the ones who has NO idea how it even works, ya know???
It worked for my daughter, and I am SO VERY THANKFUL to God that it did.
Taking one back to read one person's view about wanting to be IN school takes the whole post out of context. Besides, what do you want to bet that she has already read every reply and don't need any redirection
Anyway, like I said, it should be CASE BY CASE, and FINAL DECISION MADE BY PARENT/CHILD, and in the final decision making, the school has NO SAY SO in it if the kid is 16 years old anyway. That would be 15 if they applied for special permission from the STATE.
That is NOT to say that schools can or will dictate homeschoolers, they don't. But until a kid is a CERTAIN AGE the school is bound BY LAW to make sure the kid is having school, whether it be private schooling, home schooling or public schooling.
