    That’s my dream too. The struggle is that I’d prefer not to homeschool the kids, and it’s hard to find that sweet spot where you have that kind of space and are in a good school district.

      Homeschooling is like what ayurvedic is to medicine. Or a chiropractor to an orthopedic specialist. Except you have to do it yourself and your kids won’t learn how to adjust and cooperate with others. You were planning to do this on a 9 to 5 schedule? How do you handle PE? Shop? Do you understand the material you will be teaching? Do you know how to construct and evaluate tests? How to keep track of progress and keep lesson plans planned three years ahead? Or are you just gonna wing it and learn as you go?
