If you have the time, I don’t see anything wrong with that.  I would home school Alex in a heartbeat if he ever asked me to.  I have meet kids that were home schooled that loved it and some that didn’t.  It all depends on the person.

If you decide to home school one thing that I would recommend is getting your child involved in some after school activiteis.  It could be sports, horse back riding, boy/girl scouts, anything fun that will still have your child getting the social skills, and fun with other kids his/her age.

Everyday it seems that there is something on the news about schools, so I understand why you would be wanting to home school.  See what your child would rather do before making any final decisions.
