my wife was honeschooled and two of her sisters homeschooled their kids all the way. It wasn't feasible with us. Both of us had careers, and my military career kept me gone too much. Mary is a Director Of Nursing at a nursing home which will make volunteering there easy. With me being retired it is now an option. We are allowing them to finish elementary and then homeschooling as they finish that. Our youngest is in a language immersion program and just about to finish 2nd grade. Things are just to awful as they enter middle school here. Really glad we found this thread. NC is good with homeschooling but only if you establish it during their enrollment period. We are meeting with the school counselor to ask for a letter of recommendation to make it easier for an exception to policy with our state agency. Our kids can even participate in high school sports as homeschooled children if they choose. NC also also allows for and pays for community college during 11th and 12th grade if students have a B average. It is just tuition they pay for but how awesome is that. Getting set up this late in the year is the only real hurdleWe have been homeschooling our oldest (16) a few years now, and have decided to pull our other two out of the performing arts school they are in and homeschool them also. The PA school has made a drastic turn in the last few months and several children are now talking about leaving.
Not sure what we are using with the oldest, but will ask my wife. My oldest usually has her day's work done in about 2 hours ( it is computer based) and usually volunteers 3 days a week at the nursing home, (she has done that since she was 12)
