Well, they are your children, kiwipaula, and so it is your responsibility to decide what is best for them. Some parents simply do not have the option of homeschooling, if both parents are working. What I would advise is going to see any future school and make sure that you have a good look round. Try to prepare some difficult questions to ask and then see if the headmaster or headmistress gives you honest and sensible answers. For example, some schools ang on to good staff, whereas a high rate of staff turnover is often a sign of bad management. School websites are not so reliable, but a good source of information is a parent who already has a child at the school that you want to send your child to.

Good luck!
