Yeah, if my child wanted to go to school I would first find out why and try to meet their needs in another way. And then if they were old enough and I thought they understood the decision they were making I would let them try it out and see what they thought! My main goal at the moment is to delay their entry into school. I do think my children will go to school one day, I'm not sure when. Maybe not until yr 11, maybe long before that. But one of the reasons I started looking into homeschooling in the first place was because I thought kids started school too young. I think in these early years the most important place for kids to be is at home. I definitely think school has benefits but I would like my children to be older, more sure of themselves, confident in their own beliefs, and have better decision making skills by the time they're out there in the big wide world
