Children tend to put friends before family when in a public school atmosphere and it's a difficult battle to deal with due to peer/social dependence. I think it's a heart issue with kids more than a school issue and the heart issue would have to be dealt with first. [/quote] Yes, that is a problem ...

Sorry I wasn't clear. The goal is to bring them home and continue with HOD through graduation, have them get a job, and save for college. They, however, want to continue going to school because they really enjoy it and it is easy . My complaint is that I am not satisfied with the education they are ...

This is a difficult post to write, and I'm sure I won't be able to ask all of my questions the first time around, so a little background first.

Thanks!

Thanks for your input. I'll take a look at some of the recommendations you kind ladies listed. Thanks for your help!

My oldest just finished WG and did Foersters Algebra. It didn't really click as she couldn't retain the information, along with medical issues on top of that. Could anyone share their experience with Video Text Algebra? I'd really like her to nail Algebra before she gets into chemistry.

Thanks.
