Summer is Over

This week marks the beginning of school again and signifies that summer is officially over.
And, if you’ll remember, a couple of days ago I mentioned my oldest daughter wants to go back to school. Even though we’ve decided to let her, I’m a little worried about that. So we came up with a plan for this year to ease her back into school.
The co-op. Our school district has a homeschool co-op where the kids go a couple times a week to classes and the rest of the time, they’re at home, just like traditional homeschool. It would give her an opportunity to “go to school” and to meet other kids, get involved in stuff and yet not expect her to be up every morning of the week adhering to rigid school rules (and schedules) that she’s not used to. Then next year, if she really wants to, we’ll transition to regular public school again.
She likes this idea. And I’m glad. It was a little stressful for me the last several weeks discussing public school and all that entails. I’m happy this idea is workable for her. Honestly, I think she’ll do much better doing it this way than just shoving back in. I mean, she hasn’t been to a regular classroom since 3rd grade! That is quite a long time. Besides, next year will be her first year of high school and there’s a newer school in our district that is an arts high school. Since she’s interested in music and drama and all that stuff, it sounds like just the place for her. The class sizes are smaller and that’s certainly a bonus.
So - how is your end of summer/beginning of school going?
