I have posted on here before umming and ahhing about Home educating my older children. I am STILL umming an ahhing about that!. I am just concerned as they actually seem to like school so although I am now convinced that delaying school until 7 or beyond would have been beneficial for them I am still on the fence about whether its too late to change.
HOWEVER, both dh and I are sick of having screaming 3 year olds dragged from us (our children have never taken easily to nursery!) and he agrees that starting school after 7 would have been better had we been savvy enough to do the research back then for our older ones.
So our youngest will not be going to nursery and if all goes well that year she will not be going into infant school either.
Our 4 year old who I had to go and pick up today because of so many wetting accidents (she need constant supervision and I feel she is showing some of the same special needs as my older ds) has until christmas and if we are still not happy we will be withdrawing her to home educate.
We have three older ages 9,7 and 6 and we will leave the choice up to them as I dont feel its something I can force on them.
I am so excited - which probably seems odd but I feel like a huge weight has been lifetd at the thought of not having the "oh Mrs Its can I have a word" at the end of everyday.
:) I just had to share with someone! as we are not going to be going into massive amount of details with wider family (who will be seriously against it).
