Hi Nicoletta,
I have 3 daughters ages 7, 4, and 2. We pulled our oldest out of school in
December. She still keeps in touch with her friends. I think I had a harder
time with it than she did. I am a very loyal person and still feel a sense
of loss from not being at her school. However, we are thoroghly enjoying our
unschooling experience and I don't regret our choice. It's also important to
remember thar a)it's not carved in stone and b) there are plenty of families
that homeschool some of their kids and send some to school. So whatever
choice you make can be flexible enough to fit your family's needs. Good Luck
to all of you in your quest for the ultimate homeschool life.
Amy
