Okay so I've asked why you choose to HE now I'd like to ask why not send them to school?
I personally don't think that schools are perfect but I don't think they're all bad either, however I do think the benefits of HE are greater.
The way I put it is like this 'I like strawberry ice cream but if I had the option of chocolate instead then I'd take it'.
Dp on the other hand thinks that if something is okay, why look for something else? I said that HE is okay so why look for something else? But he's not quite on board yet. He had a great experience in school and doesn't want our son to miss out. In his opinion I can still do all the things I'd want to with our son in the hours that he's not in school.
My only real concern is that he isn't given the freedom to become his own person without feeling the need to conform. I've loved watching him discover things all by himself and seeing his enthusiasm and curiousity grow by the minute and I'm worried that he might lose that if I put him into school. I love the montessori philosophy so if we do choose to send him to school we'll probably stick to montessori.
Anyway I'm just rambling now sorry. I just wanted to pick your brains
