: Thanks for the info. I will look into the home charter schools. I have struggled to find decent resources for my son's lessons, so that may be a good direction to investigate.
: I agree fully with your statement that home schooling is better than public school "if done right." My step-sister tried doing it with her kids and failed miserably. For that reason alone, I originally hesitated to do it myself. But my experience has taught me it was a good choice. It's a lot of work if done right.
Had my parents tried to home school me, it would have been a disaster. My father was never home, and my mother was very abusive. Rough-around-the-edges as my dealing with school was, it was an island of sanity in my childhood years.
The problem I see with home schooling is that no one really checks to see whether such is in the best interests of the child. This is not something one can take the parents' word on.
