All you need to decide is whether it's the right choice for you. I'll be looking at the advantages of homeschooling as well as some of the disadvantages (yes, there are some!).
For me, homeschool was the natural choice because that's exactly what my parents did - making me one of the very few 'second-generation' homeschoolers. O.K. – maybe that makes me a bit biased, but it also gives me the confidence to know that academically there's no contest.
There are lots of different ways to homeschool. To me, it's not important whether you follow a structured approach with scheduling, lesson plans and a specific curriculum or you decide to be totally unstructured and 'go with the flow.' We'll look at how to homeschool and see the benefits of each.
Above all, I hope you'll find this journey as empowering as it has been for us.
