provided to enrich your life and education. It's not like that anymore. My kid came home with homework in KINDERGARTEN. Now the new push is no more toys, they should all be reading at the end of kindergarten which is reasonable for some and not others. Teaching algebra in 3rd grade is great for those who grasp it and unnecessary torture for those who are not at the developmental level to grasp it.

I do not isolate my children. They have many activities DAILY that get them out with other kids and not with me or my husband.

Some may isolate, but that is not the goal of the group of homeschoolers I know.
