We did the same, my daughter fit in at private school like a fish to water, my son however, every kindergarten day ended with me having a meeting with the teacher, telling me indirectly she thought he needed meds to be able to fit in. He got thru half kindergarten before covid shut us down and the rest of the year was a joke. He learned nothing, couldn’t read the most basic sight words, the home school work the teacher sent home was mostly coloring letters and other nonsense. We homeschooled last year and he caught up and ended the year ahead of what he was expected to learn. He will start next years homeschool in the top reading group instead of the bottom. They want to go to school, they’re lonely, but they learn so much more at home. If they act up or don’t do a paper, they sit at their desk until it’s done. If we finish dinner and they get back to work and don’t finish before bed, we get up early and do it then, and they learned to just do it and get it over with before they let that happen again. At school, the teachers would just let unfinished school work get tossed into a folder, and as long as it wasn’t too much, it just sat there forever. We did baseball this year for some socialization, they loved the kids, but hated baseball, so I’m planning to sign them up for karate, since they mostly complained it was too hot, cold, rainy, windy etc. I think an indoor activity will be more popular with them.
If you didn't know there are many colleges accepting homeschooled kids over others specifically because the lack of critical thinking skills they are seeing from traditional schools. That's just reinforcement to me, that I made the right choice. It's amazing how strongly some people feel about how you choose to educate your kids! I got a lot of flack from family and even just random people at the grocery store being nosey about why we were out during school hours.
I sent a message on messenger because it wouldn’t give me option for friend request!!!
