We were...well are unintentional homeschoolers. Our oldest was actually in public school, but due to his autism, food allergies, and then undiagnosed medical condition, we pulled him. He wasn't thriving, and was instead regressing. Homeschooling ended up being the perfect fit for him, and it also worked out when my other two came along with the same medical condition. They also had their own challenges that would have caused them to struggle in a traditional setting. I think what amazes people, is that my kids are in fact more social and know how to act in a variety of settings versus just knowing how to 'sit still and be quiet.' It was the best choice for us, and this is coming from a parent who did well in public school. I feel as if my eyes were opened by accidently finding the world of homeschooling.

I will upvote, resteem, and follow :)
