Most of them say it is for the organized sports. I am a committed homeschooler also and I hope to homeschool them through high school, but I also told them that they can decide for themselves if they ever want to go to school. It just seems in line with the unschooling philosophy to me that kids should have control over their own educations. I would certainly try to address why they want to go and offer alternatives, but if they were adamant I'd let them try it.

Yet, I'm getting ready (I hope) to send my older daughter to a g-school next year. Why? Because homeschooling to a world class level in ballet just isn't possible. At least not in the eastern half of the state of NC. The <a href="http://www.ncarts.edu/" rel="nofollow">school</a> offers that level of training. Do I wish she could stay home? Sure. Am I willing to try to talk her out of it? Not a chance! I’m about as militant as they come. Yet, I’m getting ready (I hope) to send my older daughter to a g-school next year. Why?
