New homeschooler here . We have been at it officially since October . I am so excited about GR as is my youngest son. My oldest who is 11 is the opposite - he can’t get himself motivated about much; he does work to just get it over with ; getting him to work and not distract is a constant fight . Is this what ppl mean by “deschooling” - he’s been in school for 6 years; my youngest for 0. He’s smart - he loves Math and Science but reading and writing are his Achilles heal. The attitude is starting to wear on me and my other son. Yesterday I mentioned to my husband maybe he shouldn’t go back to school :( I really don’t want to - the days when it’s fun and good it’s great . I just feel like I’m fighting constantly with my older one . It’s not what I envisioned homeschooling to be Are my expectations too high? Is this just a tween thing ?
