How many parents homeschool their children? Is it hard? We are basically being forced to homeschool our 5 yr old next yr. Unless we want to send him to the public school in our city (which is horrible!) I've approached the school board and everything trying to get him in a different school. But I'm sooo concerned I can't homeschool him or he's going to miss out socially or I'm just going to fuck my poor baby up for life! I'm completely stressed out!
