We were hesitant to do this because of the social aspect. We are older pedes and growing up when we heard someone was homeschooled there was a serious issue with the kid. Now notsomuch. He is almost 3, so he never stepped foot in a school.
We are still wrestling with it purely for the social aspect but we will not sit by and watch people put their twisted version of reality into our son's head. Thankfully PA (currently) has school choice.
I really am posting for other pedes to think about this decision. I wish we had a maga online charter school
You can homeschool and still socialize (after fake Covid). Take him to parks, play places with kids a lot, live in a heavy kid friendly neighborhood, befriend parents with kids your age. Homeschooling is not a social death sentence.
