That’s not a good idea. I understand having them repeat kindergarten if they’re having a hard time but please do not pull them out of school… in my state that’s not even legal. Children are required to be in school from 5-16 years old. Taking them out will only hurt them.

Why are you wanting to pull them out?

@Brianna for us they are not required to be in school till they are 6. The age for school for us that is mandatory is 6 to 18.

You still shouldn’t pull them out. Have them repeat kindergarten if they’re struggling but taking them out may cause them to have an even rougher year next year. Plus it’s still so early in the school year. Are you worrying about them academically or is it something else? If you don’t mind me asking

I think it's fine. You both tried it and got the kindergarten experience. If there's something going on in your life or at the school that isn't working, it's ok to take a pause and get through this season. It will be there when you're ready to go back. Keep in mind, though, that school can be a stabilizing factor for kids when there is other stuff going on in their lives, and there are resources available for kids that need extra help or are struggling. Be committed to staying out until the end of the year, cover the material at home, and be ready to hop back in at 1st grade (if that's your goal).

I think it’s fine too.

Why not homeschool

@Kate we do online school right now

@Brianna dealing with several different things.

Well I hope everything works out! Only you know what’s best for your child. Sorry if I came off dismissive considering I don’t know your child’s situation
