Of course, this is the first question people ask when thery hear about our plan to homeschool. Why?? It is a question that has both a simple answer and a complex answer.
The simple answer is because we think it is the best thing for Big A.
The complex answer is that the two schools she has been in over the last four years have let us down time and time again. Both schools promised to provide challenges for students who find the work unchallenging. They did not. Her current class has 41 students when the school promised a class size of no more than 30-35. Teachers are for the most part sub-par. The curriculum is uninspired and dull. The administration is unable to address even the most basic needs of retaining and drawing inspired teachers. We feel that Big A is slowly losing her enthusiasm for learning and we want to stop that slide before it is too late!!
