I was just wondering if anyone else is planning on home educating their LOs?
Our schooling is completely opposit.. We HAD to do religion and french etc... and it was a complete waste of my school time... I did not get anything out of them, I would have rather done other courses instead, especially in highschool... It is mandatory to do french in grade 9, but useless for me now. I could have used that class for something else. Same with religion...
I wont be homeschool, it is simply financially unrealistic for us... We both need to work, so our kids will need to go to school.
Also in one way I think learning to disagree and have to answer to teachers and consequences helps in real life situations... I dont know how homeschooling would compare, I would be a bit worried that they may not have as good social dealing skills... but I dont really know.
If they never go to school they are off radar, so to speak, and you won't get bother by the ed department, but taking a kid out of school once they are in it.....now thats another story!

I just wanted to say that this is probably a good thing (to be 'bothered' by the education department), kids get taken out of school for more sinister reasons than to be home schooled and the education department need to follow it up just in case. It worries me quite a lot that kids might be off the radar if they're home schooled from the start.
