My reasons for homeschooling were not as pure as everyone elses. Isaac went to ps...and he is very very intelligent...and bored....we found that he was a behavior problem because of it....we were reminded that meds were a great options repeatedly....we kept saying that we thought he was bored and no one would listen.....then we had his IQ tested to prove to them that he wasn't just a "ADD/ADHD" kid that needed meds...and his IQ is 138. Well nothing much changed...so we decided to pull him out. Since he has been home we realized that he was left to read all day long...he is an avid reader (not an ADHD trait) and would literally read whole chapter books in a day....as long as he was quiet...they were happy!

We did pray and pray about it...and the answer seemed obvious...so we brought him home...we are discussing how long he will remain home...at this point dh wants him to return to school for 7th grade...I would like him to stay home until high school so we shall see....

we haven't decided if we will homeschool our dtr she just turned two....I figure we will montessori train her as we did Isaac for prek and then decide what is best for her!
