I am an educator. I seriously considered homeschooling & researched it thoroughly. I think it is a great option. It depends on your child, your reasons, your commitment & your effort, etc. I had a lot of misgivings & prejudgements about homeschooling (& people who homeschooled their kids). It depends where you live, but the homeschooling movement is big & well developed in some states & there are ample opportunities to get together w/ other homeschooled kids. (YMCA, for example has phys ed programs for. For homeschooled kids). Homeschooling can vary tremendously just as private schools, charter schools & public schools.
In th end after having really researched it, I chose for my child not to be homeschooled but I came away with a newfound understanding & respect for homeschooling as an important & viable educational option for many children.
