I think posting the deregistration letter through the school letter box was the hardest moment. After that, school quickly faded away. How quickly you move from the school-gate environment where home-ed seems like a crazy option, to the home-ed community where home-ed is the normal, sane path to take. We still have regular play dates with her school friends but now, school seems like a crazy idea. I too am trying to work in the evenings - I have a website teaching people how to make bread (what is your business, by the way?) - and I absolutely love having the daytime with the children. Good luck with your home-edding and let me know how you get on.<br />RxMrs Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04744432053755759201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957232085126077455.post-50347360087841751522013-05-26T00:10:17.180+01:002013-05-26T00:10:17.180+01:00Im so glad i found this blog.

We are just going through the 'shall we / shan't we' stage, deciding whether to take the plunge into home educating our daughters (one in year 1, the other aged 16 months). My reasons for are very similar to yours (I'm a teacher too) and I've been worried that they are not good enough reasons to pull her put of school. So many other home ed families seem to do so because their children have had really bad experiences at school...my daughter is happy enough there and rarely complains...but for the reasons you mention above it doesn't seem right to me any more. It also doesn't help that I now run my own business which means I work evenings...so hardly ever see her. Reading this has brought tears to my eyes as it has reaffirmed this is the right decision for our family.
