Of course I've said it 1,000 times and will say it 1,000,000 more
If you choose public or private schooling it is their secondary education
Their primary education is at home

Very well put. Excellent. I love hearing that.
Well, homeschooling isn't for everyone - and those who do it are never 100% confident that they are doing the best they can, but it's that doubt that pushes us to do more, learn more and be the best for our kids that we can. That being said....
There are a MILLION ways to get your kids socialization. That should be the least of your worries. Soccer, baseball, basketball, community art classes, museum programs, community volunteer work, scouting, church, community groups, off-campus courses and sporting clubs, family, neighbors....the list goes on and on. Everyone says the socialization is a big deal, but for us it just hasn't been.
My worry? Is what to do when my son hits Calculus! lol
(We've already found weekend community college courses that will help us in this area - so I'm really TOO worried
)
If you want any more info or anything just let me know. I have huge FOLDERS of links, legal info, educational techniques, online courses, correspondence programs, etc. Before I got into this end of the biz I used to run a huge homeschooling resource site that I eventually sold off because it got too big to manage. lol
