She did go to 4K this year 2 days a week for 3 hours each and has done and is doing quite well, and I think we will keep her at this private Christian school for kindergarten, but then I am thinking home school is the answer for a while.

So, didn't really answer your question, but I just had to chime in because I am exactly where you are.

I look forward to the responses.
Thanks so much for your response, it is nice to know someone else is in the same place. I had recently spoken to a friend who homeschools, but her oldest is just 8 years old. so everyhting is still fairly basic. I feel my 4 year old would be a great homeschool candidate because she is pretty attentive. However, I am not great at teaching others, even when it is something I do well (like writing) and I worry about trying to teach when I get to the higher grade levels, as I have forgotten most math stuff and am generally horrible at math, especially if we went on to high school! I also worry about my kids getting to socialize enough. But I suppose we could make time for that on our own. Well, thanks again for responding and hopefully we can stay in touch :-)
