Homeschool 4th Grade Curriculum Questions...

[namwen]

I am on the verge of making the call with almost all of my kids. We have 6 total - four boys 20,17,14,12 - two girls 10,7.

Obviously my 20 year old is done...I'm so proud of him. He's in an apprenticeship program to become a pipeline welder. Right now he is making 70k with housing paid and a daily food allowance. lol, life is so hard for him right now.

I'm thinking of leaving my youngest in public school. She is doing well and we are very pleased with the elementary school that she attends.

My 14 year old is begging to get home-schooled. He has seen the progress that his older brother is making with college credit (on pace for 23 in 16 weeks). He is very interested in business. He's already started two micro-businesses and wants to follow me in becoming a business owner.

My 12 year old is neutral.

There is no way I am sending my 10 year old daughter to the local middle school. No way, no how. I can't afford to have 4-5 kids in private school.

My wife is generally not all that organized so co-op situations will be a must. I can't demand that she do everything...poor girl might lose her mind.
