Homeschool vs public school

I am a homeschooler, so my response is biased. But I think you should really weigh out your options, and make the decision that you feel is the best for your daughter. If she is learning and developing well, without public education interfering with her, then I say keep it up. If she's lonely and wants to make some new friends, you could check out your local library. Homeshoolers often meet up there on a regular basis, as well as post their meetings on the bulletin board. Another great place is the YMCA, ours has a homeschoolers gym and swim once a week. You could also check online, to the mommy and me play groups. They often meet up once a month at a park, or some other recreation site. Sometimes they meet more often then that, it all depends on the activity and size of the group. There's tons of stuff out there to get involved in to meet her social needs. Bottom line, do what's best for her. Anytime I have to make a very important decision I weigh out the pros and cons on paper. Take a blank sheet and draw a big T. On the top left write pros, top right write cons. Then under the line, list all the things you can come up with. This way you have a visual. Also, on the cons side, after you write something, think of possible solutions. Such as you write socializing: YMCA, 4H, Church group, Library, etc... That way you can see if it really is a con or if it is just a reservation you have. If it is just a reservation, network with other homeschoolers to find out how they cope with, or handle the issue. I hope this answered your question. Please feel free to ask anymore you have.
