Frustrated!
I really love living in Quebec but there are times I get really frustrated at the government here. I have been going back and forth on home schooling since we had our first baby. There are SO many benefits and it sounds so great but there are a lot of reasons I'd like to have my kids in school too. I struggle with not knowing if I'm really the right "personality" to home school and if it's a good fit for my kids and I. Mark and I had come to what we thought was a good plan. We would put Danya in kindergarten at the public school here, she would get French immersion which we liked and we knew the teacher was fantastic which we also really liked. Well as it turns out that might not be such a great plan! Apparently in Quebec if you want to home school the best way to go about it is just to never enroll your kids in school. Because if you decide to pull them out later you have to jump through hoops and back again in order for it to be all "legal". So now we are back where we started. Feeling pressured into making a decision we aren't sure we're ready to make. I have time, she won't start school till next September but there is still a lot to think about...

Since you are their mom, you *are* the perfect person to teach your children. You know them better than anyone and can tailor their education to their needs.
You know, it's kind of the same here. It's a little trickier pulling a child out of school rather than never putting them in in the first place. It just gets them in "the system" but is doable.
Now Danya's a little older than Millie- do you mean she'd start K this September or next? Millie won't be 5 till Dec. 13th so we decided to just do PreK with her this year and K next. We figure we need all the parenting years we can get with her. ;)
Anyway, I'm glad to see you posting here! I have some CD's I'd love to send you to listen to about homeschooling if you want.
Love, Alyssa
p.s. I LOVE your avatar pic of you & Jack! :)
