Reply #30: We have a loose homeschool association in my county. [View All]

[Maddy McCall]

Kids meet up in the afternoon for several hours of play at least twice a week.

Monday afternoon, they had a hayride. They visit museums and go on various out-of-town field trips.

And every holiday season they put on a play. The last one they did was "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."

We will join the association. And my son will still have his friends from PS over to play and spend the night on weekends.

He is not going to be locked away in my home with no contact with the outter world.

If I would have left him in the PS system, I would have to have him in counseling. It was KILLING his self-esteem--after all, when authority figures tell you, "I would hurt you really bad if I could, but if I did, your mother would try to get me fired," how is that helping his social adjustment???
