I was in public school K-9th grade and then finished up high school online. High school was so much less stressful for me because of it, but looking back I do kind of wish I stayed in public school. I feel like I developed social anxiety because I was staying inside all day everyday, and I missed out on all the high school experiences too. My mom never took me anywhere but I guess it would be different if you made an effort to take your kids places and have them interact with other kids. If you do keep them in public school, DEFINITELY get them IEPs to secure some accommodations for them (like not requiring them to give speeches or presentations, or anything involving public speaking). I can’t tell you how much less stressful my schooling experience would have been if I never had to worry about doing any of those.
