We were hesitant to do this because of the social aspect. We are older pedes and growing up when we heard someone was homeschooled there was a serious issue with the kid. Now notsomuch. He is almost 3, so he never stepped foot in a school.

We are still wrestling with it purely for the social aspect but we will not sit by and watch people put their twisted version of reality into our son's head. Thankfully PA (currently) has school choice.

I really am posting for other pedes to think about this decision. I wish we had a maga online charter school

He is 13. We still do things at home. He spends lots of his time programming. Now we shifted more to writing. Plan to send him to college when he is 16. His practice act test this year was 35.5 without any preparation. My take of homeschooling is that if kids read a lot, work on math regularly, things will be fine. We do not have formal science or history lessons, but he reads a lot. It is really easier and more organic this way than dividing things arbitrarily by subjects.
