Educationally it might be ok, however daily interaction with their peers and learning how to reslove differences are important aspects to learn.
Being a leader, knowing when and when not to follow. These are skill sets that are necessary and are hard to teach just one-on-one through being educated by mommy and daddy ... they should be experienced imho.
My daughter's class has around 30 children. Their teacher is with them from grades 1-8. They will mostly ALL be together for 8 years. They will have to learn how to deal with different characteristics, different attitudes, different cultures AND learn to respect those differences and reslove whatever conflicts arise.
The teacher over the course of time knows each child and how they act and react and CARES enough to commit to dealing with and working each child and family individually. There's so much more but again - this is right for us and OUR kids.
