I may be crazy, but I've seriously been thinking about homeschooling my Youngest next year when he starts 1st grade. Don't get me wrong, but I LOVE the school, LOVE the teachers, Like the district, but I've still been thinking about it.
As a substitute teacher this year I've been able to see how much time a teacher must spend getting the class to settle down, get to work, to line up for music/PE/lunch, and how much time they really spend one on one with each child and I know I can give my child at least that amount of attention each day with school work. Socialization isn't an issue because he will be starting Cub Scouts and sports are not an issue, because wrestling and baseball are in his future.
What really stops me is the fact that I know myself and I'm not sure I have the patience to teach him and not do his work myself, and I'm afraid that his education will be neglected in some vital way with me as his teacher.
Anyway that is just something I've been thinking about this crazy April in Oklahoma!
