I was homeschooled. It is both good and bad like most things. You do miss out on interacting with other people but if done right the kids will be smarter then most of the kids in public school. If it was my kids I would say do it till they were in about 5th - 7th grade. I was homeschooled till I was a sophmore. If you put them in school after they learn reading, spelling and math at home it will be a lot easier for them to pick up on other stuff because they have the basics that get skiped over in schools and they just hope you pick them up. (I know this because I have sisters that were in public schools part of the time.) It took me a few years after I graduated to become used to being around people after I started school. That is why I believe that it is better to put them in earlier then when I was. If you do this you have to be willing to work with them atleast 6 hours a day though. When I did go to school I had a 3.6 grade point average and no problem whatsoever with test or homework.
