M.N.
M.N. and her husband "live with our three kids in Denver, Colorado. We are only one year into homeschooling, but are loving it. We wish that poor DS-Second grade (Joey, turned seven yesterday) had never gone to school. He did kindergarten with a fabulous teacher, but his first grade teacher was an unreal nightmare. We decided he was better off back home with me again. We are all better for it. I teach while balancing the needs of a toddler and a new baby (aged five months)."
