School?

MissWhis · September 2014

Honestly, I'd really love to do unschooling, but for various reasons - including what @LolaDair‌ mentioned about the "necessary evil" of conformity, I'm about 99% certain we won't.

I'm guessing we will end up sending her to the local arts magnet school for elementary, then who knows? It really depends on what her aptitudes and interests are as school age gets closer.

I teach at a private Christian school and am hopimg to send DD and future kids there. It's a great school and as a teacher I get a small discount on tuition

Voted SS, My kids will do public school through til high school graduation, however, I will be pulling them out a few hours early everyday to homeschool teach math and maybe history/social studies.

Huh? Every day the whole 13 years? Why? Can you even do that? I don't even know how that schedule would work.
Actually you can, I have a few good friends who have been doing it for years now and love it. When the kids are in elementary you work with the teacher on when they do their math time, and pull them out for the hour or however long to do it either at home (one of my friends even does it in the car to cut back on driving) Then when they are in middle school and high school they schedule all classes except math and end school an hour early and you do it at home. I've been doing a lot of research on doing homeschooling for only certain subjects and it really fits our familys needs and desires. The reason we choose math is because I've done hours and hours of research on common core and I personally disagree with it completely. Other parents might be ok with it but for me and my children it's not a good fit.

Wow....I've never heard of that. I'm a teacher and teach math at different times each day and often it is linked with other subjects. It seems like it would be irritating for everyone involved.... My kids will go to a public French immersion school in our neighbourhood.

We live in one of the top school districts in the country. I think it was ranked #6 this year... So yes, I will be sending my kids to school there since we ready pay taxes!

My kids will go to public French immersion starting in kindergarten...part of the reason we chose to live where we do was to make sure we had access to early immersion and not just late. When we buy a house we'll have similar priorities. Here the French schools are a separate school board and you need at least one francophone parent to enroll. I used to teach FI but am not francophone so we're SOL there.

Are you Canadian? I can't remember. That's how French school is here, with the added requirement that the child be baptized, because all French schools are catholic. As a result, my high school (which included junior high because of low numbers, so grades 7-13) was only 300 people. Ha! I think they're beginning to relax on some of their rules because they've realized they'll be obsolete otherwise.

Yup, I am in NS. As far as I know you do t have to be Catholic here.
