Quote: Does she wish to leave the school to 'run away' or because she sees it as a constructive step in the right direction?

Quote: For social stuff look into your local IS/Homeschool community. In my area these folks regularly schedule get togethers and field trips that the kids would otherwise miss out on
SG - I will look into that, BUT given my D's political beliefs, she may have a hard time socializing with the fundamentalist Christians who make up such a big part of the homeschool community down here.
