I have three boys - 7, 5, and 3. My oldest is finishing 1st grade this spring, and I just haven't been impressed with the schools. I think I could do a better job teaching him, and since I'd only have a few students, we could be done within a few hours. He has so much curiosity and a strong desire to learn, and I feel the public school cannot feed the fire as well as I could. I'm getting the impression that he's bored in class and would like to pursue the things he's interested in. I don't see any downsides to homeschooling...at least in the elementary years...any thoughts?
