Here's your comment that I really liked: "Deciding to homeschool doesn’t have to be forever, it is a year by year decision. If you try for the first few years, and decide it is better for your family that the children enter the public school system, or even private school, this can be done." Whoops! Here’s your comment that I really liked:

We just had a Homeschooling 101 Seminar at the local library last week. I'm still recovering. (Which means that I still need to put away my horde of Home Ed mags and catalogs and books that I hauled over there. I know they had a place before, but that place has magically filled up with more books, mags, etc.) Anyway, we had a small group of moms with younger ones. It was nice to see them getting started before the schooling started. I wish we'd been that smart with our older kids. And we covered everything that you laid out above. One thing that was asked was how to be frugal on the generally one income lifestyle of homeschooling. My suggestion is to find a good library as I'm amazed at what can be found there. Ebay comes in handy too. This was a great comment that we reiterated too: <blockquote cite="Deciding to homeschool doesn’t have to be forever, it is a year by year decision.
