Well, I certainly think parents should be teaching their children at home whether or not they attend public school, which is unimpressive all over the country. If you have the ability to put a lot of time into it, then withdrawing her from regular school, or even having her attend classes only part-time, may also be an option. If you take your child out of school, don't forget to spend extra effort making sure she has plenty of organized social activities, sports, clubs, etc. outside of the home environment.

HI all. I'm new to this tribe and I'm considering homeschooling. We just moved to a new area and I'm not at all impressed with the public schools. Private schools are not an option. And I'm just not willing to let my child do without an education. It would seem that home schooling is the next logical step. To be honest, she's never done well in a traditional school environment, so this may be a blessing. Any input would be appreciated. Oh, she's just turned 12, in 6th grade. A bright kid who's bored silly and has learned to goof off as a result.
