I wouldn’t say the schools are bad. I am sure they are fine but homeschooling suits us and them. It stared with my son. We couldn’t get him in school right away in Canada and by the time we would be able to he was too far ahead and liked homeschooling too much. We thought about putting him in a private school but they were way too expensive in the city. When we moved out of the city we looked at private again but decided that he could continue on current path and if he needed help we would get him a tutor.

As for my daughter. We had so much success homeschooling our son that we decided to follow the same formula. We gave her the option of going to public school starting in grade 1 last September if she wanted and at first she was intrigued but said she would rather stay homeschooled.

My daughter is much more social and creative than my son so at some point she may want that environment for learning and if she does we will put her in school but everything is going well right now so if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
