4th anniversary of fulltiming

The correctness of the decision to full time with minor children will probably be at college admission/SAT/ACT time. I wish the kids well.
"In general" home schooled kids do much better and have higher College acceptance rates than those in Public Schools.
Enjoy your travels.
I think both sides make good points. There are definitely a lot of misconceptions about homeschooling and there are people who are "homeschooling" but are fairly negligent about schooling. In our travels, we've seen both sides. From kids who were college ready at 16 to illiterate at 12.
We are very intentional with it once we found our groove. I do not foresee my daughter (15) having issues. Nor do I imagine my son will, but he's only 7 now. Recalling where my public schooled daughter was at that age, he seems age appropriate.
We were also recently talking to a college admissions person- he did say that her alternative lifestyle will make her stand out a bit from the crowd.
Only time will tell, of course.
