Maybe where you are from, but not around here. You just have to know my daughter to understand why she is where she is with her education. In fact, someone I know that homeschools wasn't surprised at all when I talked with her about this situation a couple of days ago. She knows my daughter fairly well. This isn't the school's fault or anyone else's fault for that matter. This girl is just different. She thinks differently than most of the people I know.

Okay, I give you the last word.

Never mind....

Every child is teachable at different levels and in different ways. As quoted by a public school teacher of 35 years, "There are too many rats in the cages."

If your daughter wasn't getting something someone should have recognized that that - stopped what they were doing and addressed it. That's what we do in homeschooling. We don't move on until we have mastered a particular concept. They are not able to do that in the public school system. They don't have time or enough help.

It did get addressed last year, by her 2nd grade teacher. She pretty much warned us we'd find ourselves in the position we are in. I tried explaining to her that she needed to find what worked for my daughter. We worked with her, with the help of her teacher. She was running a "C" average until this last semester in the 3rd grade. I'm not going to take any chances with her getting left behind so here we are. Again, this isn't anyone's fault, PO. I know it's hard for you to accept that because you are so dead set against public schools

Just wanted to address this before I get bogged down in work this week.

I am not totally dead set against the public schools. I've seen and experienced bad on both sides. There is good and bad in every sector of society.

I'm open to whatever works for the family. If a family has no organizational skills they would serve themselves better by NOT homeschooling.

God bless!
