This happens to me almost every time I post. Finally I've gotten into the habit (on this site only) of copying all my responses before I click Submit. Seriously dumb.

I understand your concerns about school and agree with you almost 100%. I'm not a holistic medicine person, but other than that I seriously amazed at what most parents put up with on order to have "free" school and to get their kids "out of their hair" (their words, not mine).

My dh thinks I'm not disciplined enough.
writermommy, I wish all homeschooling issues were this simple. If your husband doesn't think you're disciplined enough (and assuming he's not some raging control freak who is horrid and nasty), then he probably has a reason for it. So, if you want to get him "on board" you simply need to change your habits, become disciplined, and show him the "new you." Especially considering the fact that he's actually homeschooled before himself, he just needs to see that your kids won't be floundering around.

So, take some time to develop good personal habits and self-discipline. When he sees that, his fears will be resolved.

Good luck,

Alison
