The Pros, Cons, and Inbetweens of Homeschooling

My mother home-schooled me and my many siblings when we were young and we both know the ups and downs of homeschooling and Now we've found the perfect match between the quality and reliability of homeschooling and the inexpensive convenience of public school.

When you teach your own child from home, you have the opportunity took take charge of your child's education, can be flexible with your schedule, include the whole family in the learning process and you know that your child is getting the one on one attention that he/she needs. You can't get that kind of assurance when your child(ren) attend public school. Yes public school is basically free, but your are getting what you pay for. Some children may perform well in that type of environment but most others can't perform to their full potential in a classroom that is crowded with more students than the teacher can handle,or when they're constantly considering all else that happens within the school besides actually educational instruction which takes up a surprising percentage of the school day among the kids. Gossiping, cliquing, harmful influencing, they are all avoided when you home school.
