i made a mistake

When you realize you made a mistake when making a choice for your family, how soon after do you act?

I spend quite a bit of time thinking things over before making decisions. Therefore, before making another, doesn't it seem reasonable to spend some time thinking about correcting it?

We live in a state in which the homeschool laws are not restrictive or demanding and we are not required to test...so we don't. I know my children's level of education because I live with them and see their progress in life.

In a nutshell (yeah, I must have been nuts for what I did!) we have been homeschoolers/unschoolers for 12 years. In the last year we joined the Church. One of the ministries of our church is a private Christian academy. Well, My Sunshine and My Angel made friends with some of the kids at the church who happen to go to the academy and started thinking that the other kids are lucky to go to a school. 

I have always talked openly with my kids and honored their wishes whenever possible. They both told me they would like to stop homeschooling. Ya know what I did? What I always said I would do if they came to me and said they wanted to stop. I went and interviewed at the school. We don't have a principal, so our Pastor acts as such and he was quite pleased at the thought of my kids enrolling. So I paid, and they tested.

And ya know what?! They tested higher than their grade levels. At that point I should have realized that at school they will not get the education I can give but, they wanted to go and after reading the handbook I was comfortable. 

It has been one month and my homeschooled children have been getting A+s at this "academy". It has been one month and my homeschooled children have learned that rules only apply to some while others can behave atrociously with no consequences. It has been one month and my homeschooled children have been sick 3 out of 4 weeks. It has been one month and one of the teachers has cussed in front of my homeschooled children and the powers that be have called my kids liars. It has been one month and my homeschooled children are doing schoolwork they learned years ago at home. It has been one month and my homeschooled children have served detentions for the actions of other students because they didn't play the "peacemakers". It has been one month and my homeschooled children have been told to sit and interact with only children their own age. See where I'm going with this?

It has been one month and I have realized I made a mistake.

So my original question / thought is, how soon do I act? I'm thinking immediately but apparently I don't always think things through.
