I have decided to homeschool my son when the time comes - he is only 16mos old. What I can't decided is at what age. This is not a religious issue - I just do not believe the government can educate my child adequately, and I believe that children are put into a world too mature for them out of economy. I think it may be good for him to attend public school for the first few grades, maybe kindergarten-2nd, and get the basics down and establish some social skills and friendships, and then remove him to be homeschooled before the lacking aspects of public school become an issue. I may also consider letting my child choose to attend some highschool, should he choose to. I'm wondering as to whether anyone else has tried this method and what their experience was like, did it have the benefits I'm hoping for, and how did the children respond?
