I highly recommend homeschooling. I homeschooling both of my son's. One is gifted and one is special needs, so I had to use completely different techniques and curriculum, but both thrived and we grew closer as a family.

I was able to teach each based on their learning methods and interests. I was able to go fast and not bore them with busy work when they understood. I was able to slow down and teach to mastery when something was difficult. We were able to go off on a tangent and learn together when we found something interesting.

My eldest is finishing the 2nd year of his double major in computer science and math with straight A's, in the honors program, on a full scholarship. My youngest may never leave home. Both benefitted from homeschooling. It was one of the best decisions in my life.

Don't be afraid of homeschooling. There are so many resources available, some cheap or free.

Public education is a disaster as well as healthcare for our kids. Happy both topics have started to be discussed. We must fix this.
