Nope, pretty much the same and very understandable until second grade.

I would recommend to you to go through marriage counseling, and drug rehab for your spouse first, before jumping into divorce.  Try not to drop out of school. Try to finish it faster. That way you can hire tutors later if you need to for your kids. 
Try scaffolding your divorce in steps if that is possible.  Buy everything you and your kids will need for the next five  years, sock underware shoes, jackets.  Even buy and store up new household items.  Stash cash keep it out of the bank at the very least put your money in debit cards.  What you are getting ready for is instant poverty. So you need to hide what little resources you can from your spouse and the government.

Why?  You may need to use some public assistance until you can get back on your feet.  You need to appear as poor as possible in order to qualify for a lot of services and help and when and if that fail, you at least have stored up for hard times. Ideally, you won't need government help and your spouse will be fair with you. Good luck, but really try drug rehab first and marriage counseling.  Much much better although emotionally tougher then instant poverty that will last for at least a one-half decade or longer.

Original Message I'm getting divorced (thanks, oxycontin!) I have twin boys who are going into first grade. I homeschooled them for their kindergarten year and they did great. They're testing way above their grade level.

I was a stay at home mom, but now I'm getting back into the workforce. Ideally, I'll be working part time and going to school part time. But I may have to give up school and just work full time. Either way...

Homeschooling wasn't all that hard when they were kindergartners and I was going to school full time.

Is it possible that homeschooling could actually be easier than public schooling? Especially with all the common core crap that's going on... I mean, their homework is my homework, right? Are they going to be bringing home a whole bunch of nonsense for me to have to figure out, instead of just teaching them a proper lesson? And is it possible that by avoiding the inevitable unruly influences so commonly found in public schools I will be saving myself a world of trouble? They're such nice boys- I would hate to see their attitudes change.

Can a single mother with primary custody homeschool?
