Damn, you're lucky 
Public school for me for another few months, then I get to go to IMSA and maybe my life will get better.
My ideal experience would be that of unschooling, but I don't have the resources to pull that off, and schools main function for me is hanging out with my friends.
So what do you do with science, if you're into it? I'd like to have my own microscope and colony of fruit flies, but again, I don't have the resources to pull that off. |

I looked into and considered home schooling for my son,
I can see the advantages and disadvantages, but now i'm glad i didn't.
He's an only child so he has the advantage of mixing with other kids at school
Plus they have all the equipment and the teachers more skills than me
Plus it's a nightmare sometimes getting him to do his homework so god only knows what it would have been like trying to get him to work at home!

I was homeschooled for 2 1/2 grades and I am excelling in my studies now. It seems fine to me.

I find that for children who grow up in cities, where often you rarely interact with your neighbours at all. The only place to meet and make friends for a child is school and sports. I met all my friends at school, I think I would have been a completely different person if I had been homeschooled.
On a level of quality of education, if the parent is capable then it is probably better. I went to a god awful public school, but I loved it. When I look back at my, as of yet, quite short life, I really enjoyed high school. On the other hand, some people have a bad time. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is it is a personal choice of the parent on what they think is best for their child. |

It truly depends on the type of learner you are!
