Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi Rose, I pulled my sons out of school when they were 8 and 11. They did much better at home. I also had a resistant husband. Some things that helped me: 1) We homeschooled through a charter school the first year so they would still have an official record. 2) I later paid close attention to examples on homeschooling lists of how unschooling families could talk about what they were doing in terms the " officials " could understand and respect so I could explain to my spouse what we were up to. 3) When he was being a pain in the butt control freak about homeschooling (about what I did all day with the kids while he was at work), I made more effort to communicate with him about what we were up to so he didn't worry so much that the kids just weren't getting an education. Basically, my husband worried about our kids. So everything I could do to reassure him that being homeschooled was a real education and they would still have a future helped him be more at ease. Some info about our homeschooling experience can be found at http://www.kidslikemine.com Good luck with your decision.
