You didn&#39;t say what age the child was, but I agree with you; most children will make decisions on their current feelings and not see the bigger picture, nor all the benefits of homeschooling. <br /><br />Being in a homeschool co-op also has many benefits to the child and to the mother. If this co-op member is in one year and out the next, she is losing the continuity of co-op friendships for her daughter and herself. I spend an entire chapter in my book, <i>Homeschool Co-ops: How to Start Them, Run Them and Not Burn Out</i>, on the benefots of a homeschool co-op, many which are not realized until years later.<br /><br />Carol Topp, CPA<br />HomeschoolCPA.comCarol Topp, CPAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11668445884168706897noreply@blogger.com
