How did you and your kids fair with socializing, especially the teen years? We’ve been homeschooling for 1 year now, simply to keep masks off our kids, and debating continuing it. We’ve recently moved to a much smaller conservative Texas town, with plenty of land to stretch out on. Our children are young, elementary age, and as much of a benefit I see in homeschooling, that’s my only hesitation.
I agree with the social interactions and it is the main factor on sending them back. I would not have even considered them going back to public school where we were living previously. I’m open to it where we currently live, but still hesitant. I’ve looked into private schools here and can’t float 3 kids tuition. I learned the districts in this area dropped the mask requirements for students immediately once rescinded, and that gave me some hope. But not enough. I’ve lost faith in our public school system, and I’m not just gonna give that back without merit.
