So many reasons of course, but the reason that tipped me over the edge is something I haven't mentioned for a long time. A commenter over at Legal Insurrection explains perfectly:
"I did not plan to home school. . . . But among innumerable problems and eye-opening irritants, what put us over were the constant parental 'involvement' demands, 'homework' etc., intrusively dictating and co-opting many hours of family and parental time each day."
Here is a post that anyone with school age children should consider.
Thx Mr. Tom. You are a kind gentleman. And I really truly hope the best for that brother of yours.
