Your opinion is wanted, to home school or not to home school, THAT is the question.?

Well, I'm a proponent of homeschooling, but even if I weren't, it sounds like homeschooling would be an ideal situation for you and your children right now. In my state, kindergarten isn't even required by law. In my opinion a five year old can learn much more at home (and on "field trips") than in a clroom of 30 other kids and one or two very tired teachers. My suggestion to you is to research the laws regarding homeschooling in your state, talk to other homeschooling moms/families, and then give it a try. Do it for a year, like you're planning, and see how you feel after. Either you'll love it more than you expected and continue for many more years, or you'll feel satisfied with the one year and your son will be more than ready for first grade in a public school....or, you may even discover that it doesn't work for your family at all and you end up enrolling your son in the local kindergarten in November....the point is, you won't know until you try. Good luck! :)
