I feel that home education has so much going for it but I fear my ability to be with my children all the time. I am not amazingly patient, I find squabbles hard and I fear I would be too controlling as a home ed parent. That said, I feel that dd's school doesn't "get" her. She's achieving highly academically but is constantly in trouble for talking in class etc. I believe that she finds it hard to organise tasks and procrastinates. With support at home, she can do this and she is interested in everything and anything. I don't think that pleasing the teacher is enough of a motivator for her and the tasks at school are often repetitive and pointless.
Has anyone else feared being up to the job of home educating? Did it work out okay?
