Has anyone home educated for the first few years of school, then started school later? I am considering HE, but I'm particularly keen on the idea for the first few years as I worry that children are just too young at 4 or 5 for school. My ds has never wanted to stay at pre-school without me, so I have decided not to send him, but think he might still not be ready in Sept when the time comes for school.
Do you think that children settle into school if they start later, at 6 or 7 or older? Or do people generally stick with HE once they start? (I can see why that might happen, the points in favour of it are very convincing!! I'm just not sure whether I would want to until I start, and it would depend on whether my ds decided he wanted to go to school.)
