The life that we live

I don’t know if this transition is harder for me or my son. I am so worried about him being with new kids and a new teacher. I know it’s normal to worry but this is ridiculous. He isn’t in kindergarten he is entering the 6th grade. Homeschooling is so different from public school though. In homeschooling he has freedom to work when it’s convenient. He can study what he wants for as long as he wants and if something is giving him trouble he can take the time to get through it and figure it out not just be rushed on to the next step. I also hate that he will not be learning as much as he does homeschooling. My son started out being behind everyone at public school when I first pulled him out to homeschool him and now he is at least a year ahead of his fellow students, if not further ahead. In some ways that is good because he isn’t going to be behind starting this late in the year, and he can take his time and ease back into school. This could be real bad though because I don’t want him to get bored with school and not learn anything new. The stuff his class will be finishing the school year with in history my son did the beginning of last year so as I said he is at least a year ahead of the rest of them. If he was comparing himself to another homeschool student he would be a year ahead but it could definitely be more for a public school kid. I hope this is enough of a challenge for him. I can’t wait until it’s time for him to come home.
