Another HS'er here. Been at it 2 yrs and my girls are LOVING it! Heres the pros and cons for us...

PRO,
They are thriving in their school work,doing better than school kids their own age.

They LOVE doing it. They never want to set foot in a school again.

They get on better with each other and with me.

They are more socially confident/aware/balanced as they spend time relating to people of all ages, not just kids.

We hang out with other Hs families which means I have a good relationship with the kids who are their friends.

We have alot of fun while learning.

There was no income loss for me as I wasnt working before anyway.

The kids used to have to travel on a bus as we live out of town so now they arent away from me from 7am to 4.30pm 5 days a week.... yes, this was a bad thing. Not to mention the early starts!!!

There are lots of things the school teaches which I dont agree with (teaching evolution as fact, for example) so I get to decide the curriulum! BIG BONUS

There are lots more but we are going to see some baby ducks this morning and the kids are telling me to hurry up...

Cons...

it takes a bit of organising to get some time to myself to go out for lunch or a coffee with a friend(purely selfish reason)

uuummm.... thats it for the down side...

gotta run... quack quack..
