I love sleeping late, doing "school" on Sunday afternoon, going to the museum when no one else is around. I love being with my son all the time. I love going to shows, and having playdates. But I find all the paperwork very frustrating. I hate trying to turn a play date in the park into educationese for the quarterly reports. My son is only seven, but I can imagine how hard those standardized tests must be. He has serious test phobia, even with the quizzes on Time4Learning. I'm not looking forward to annual testing.

What things do you find frustrating about homeschooling in New York. Have you lived other places where it was harder, easier? What is the one thing you really hate to do each quarter?
