Our kid is going on a multi-state road trip with his grandparents. He would not be able to have that life experience if he were in public school.
For 30 bucks, you can take a test drive on powerhomeschool.org and see how your kid likes it. We turned off the SEL in Social Studies. nostr:nprofile1qqspn7d0hru9ta0gddd759sw0rk9suty3vgdakcy8ayqdl9geegwf5cpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hszynhwden5te0dehhxarjw4jjucm0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyee03zm6vx recommended it to us and it's been great.
Thanks for the advice! I plan to do pencil and paper at first because we aren't big fans of having our kids on technology, but I'm sure in a few years we'll look into digital programs.
We found a place in Houston called The Homeschool Store. It's basically a small warehouse full of every schooling resource you could ever need, and all in physical media.
In our case, we're coupling school with coding and learning Linux, so the online program meshes with that. I feel you on the tech stuff, though. It takes constant vigilance to maintain a balance.
Also, those real life, hands-on experiences can't be replicated in the classroom.
