Schools aren't all bad :)
When my oldest was tiny, we had a similar discussion in our house. We had the same setup, I had just discovered this thing called homeschooling and prior to that public school had just been a given. I expected to have a huge and possibly emotional fight on my hands.
All I really had to do was mention interest based/tailored learning and he was sold. It helped that I didn't do well at school because I don't have the right brain for it and he did extraordinarily well at school but was bored out of his mind and both of us felt it a bit of a waste of 12 years of our lives (me in particular, it hurt XD And if hubby is the big paranoid type that needs to go with what society dictates because reasons/acceptance you can always point out that hey the school is RIGHT THERE and if homeschooling doesn't work out for whatever reason the school is RIGHT THERE. You're not stuck in it forever :)
And if he wants to see an example of how it works in real life you can always point him at my monthly blogs (I have skipped July because July kinda sucked, will start on August at some point in the not too distant future hopefully).
And you know what bubs will be fine whichever route you end up going. Something about having very mindful and conscientious parents XP
Thanks so much for your wise words. I know in the scheme of things that it's not the worst thing in the world if she does have to go to school. I'm still going to try to get him to see my point of view though.
I like the argument that school is still going to be there if homeschooling doesn't work out. It's also true the other way that if she goes to school and it's not working we can pull her out, although might be a bit harder with the exemptions going that way.
Yes, I'll definitely ask him to read your blogs, I've found them intriguing and love the idea of having a life like yours. Life seems much nicer when you're free and not stuck going to school.
Thanks so much for your comments and reply. I find you're very helpful and full of wisdom! I appreciate it, as always.
