Deciding to Send Your Homeschooled Kids to Public School

Shares 3

If you’ve been following our blog for the past few months, you probably know that we took a homeschooling break last year and then returned to homeschooling this year.

While I discovered that public schooling was not for us, it might be the better option for others. If you’re considering sending your kids to public school, I’ve shared a few things that might help you make your decision.

Today is also another edition of the Laugh and Learn linky! Tina, Haley, Lindsey, Sarah, and I have chosen our features from the last party, so check them out below!

Deciding to Send Your Homeschooled Kids to Public School

Deciding to send your homeschooled kids to public school is a gut-wrenching process. At least it was for me. I remember waffling back and forth about it for months.

Throughout the process, I learned a lot about the public school system, my children, and myself. I don’t regret doing it, but I do wish that I’d had someone to tell me about what I could expect in advance.

So I decided to share a post about this very topic over at Learning 2 Walk! If you’re considering putting your kids in public school, stop by and see what you should take into account before you do.
