[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Better research the state requirements you have to meet. Better be sure you can teach your own kid -- some kids don't take instruction well from their parents. You can fill the gaps with tutors, of course. I do think that while there are certainly many success stories, kids who are homeschooled end up being underserved.[/quote] +1. The power struggles between my child & I were exacerbated when we homeschooled. We also ended up feeling isolated & my child's social skill suffered. And we were taking full advantage of all the group activities amd other social opportunities here in DC. I thought that the great homeschool network here would help us overcome the drawbacks, but in our case, it just didn't substitute for the real independence and social opportunities (even if limited) that kids gain at school.
