It is SO funny that you are posting this today. DH and I just had a huge discussion about this last night. I was reading "Bringing Up Boys" by James Dobson and there is a HUGE push for homeschooling in there. Up to reading that chapter, we were set on sending our kids to a private Christian school all the way through high school. However, after reading that, I am leaning toward homeschooling at least K-8 - then integrate at high school.

I am SO torn. I don't know if I am cut out to home school. PLUS, if I do home school, that will pretty much eliminate the possibility of adopting again in the future (no time to do and no time to bond with the new children). Originally, I was thinking when the kids turn 4, start the adoption process over so by the time they are in kindergarten, we would get 2 more kids. I dunno.

There are SO many positives to home school - way more positives than negatives. People who think homeschooled kids are social outcasts have never looked at homeschooled kids. We know a ton of them at our church and there is a MARKED difference in both intelligence AND demeaner (much more polite) than the publically schooled kids. No offense out there!!!

What are your thoughts?
