When do you start school?
So I've been debating about when to start school next year. Public schools around here start after Labor Day, but a lot of homeschool families seem to like starting in August. Last year we started in June because I was having a baby and knew I would need the flex time.
We were able to finish our core curriculum in May and this summer I've been doing worksheets 1-2 times a week and plenty of reading, but I think we're going to start school officially AFTER LABOR DAY.
This is why:
1) I'm not having a baby this year and we're not planning a big vacation so we won't need *as much* flex time.
2) My oldest is born in October, so she's technically a year ahead in her curriculum, and a few extra months of development is critical so things aren't *too* hard.
3) I can, and I need a break. If we need more flex time, we'll school into next summer, but I think for our family ending later is better than starting early. because of the October birthday, and my girls are still technically both a year ahead of where they need to be in most areas (except writing) so I'm not sweating it.
