I wish we had a good private school option around here.
I'd send my kids in a heartbeat.
Not so much because I want them to be in school or that I dislike homeschooling. Its just the husband and I have such different ideas of what homeschooling them entails.

I lean towards unschooling or some sort of unstructured sort of learning. I'm not a "true" unschooler, in the purest sense of the word, but I dislike immensely textbooks and rigid sorts of required schooling.

DH is a former public school teacher, 'nuff said.

We had a HUGE screaming fight today, in which I screamed at him that if he expected me to homeschool the kids exactly like they were in school then he'd better go sign them up for "real" school 'cause that's not how I (or the kids) operate. and I also added a few F- You's and slammed doors in the midst of it as well.

No, not one of my finest moments, not something you'd probably read about in one of those glowing issues of homeschooling magazines. But, this is a real life homeschooling blog, not the sanitized, saintly image that I'm supposed to be portraying to the ever watching public eye.

so, shoot me.
