I am in the USA, and I can tell you that there are a lot of kids who are homeschooled all the way through high school. Also, I wouldn't say that there is a lot of pressure here to stay at home with your kids. It may depend on the region or who you know. In my case, I chose to stay home, and have gotten a lot of pressure to go back to work. I know others who work and felt pressure to stay home. I've had people question me about sending my daughter to preschool She's 18 months, and preschool starts at 2 or 3. I see no need for her to go to preschool at all. I can teach her letters and numbers, and I honestly believe that we expect far too much from 5 year olds when they enter kindergarden anyway. Thank you for your article.

Even this year, I saw that having her at the gym babysitting 4-6 hours a week and at a friend's house another 4-6 hours a week (with me) made her very happy, and often when I couldn't get her calmed down myself, just having friends around helped her be happier and calmer.
