I personally cannot recommend it highly enough. Here's a study you might enjoy as well:http://www.hslda.org/docs/study/ray2009/default.asp. It basically verifies that the best for a child to be is in their home whether parents are certified or not, whether they have lots of money to spend on education or not, whether they are boys or girls. The score higher on standardized tests just from learning in an at home, loving environment! On tough days, I remind myself of that as well. :-) ~Erin Sherry and Jenny, each homeschooler has a unique story of what brought them to their decision, and the ups and downs in the early months (years . . .)

We're thinking of homeschooling for our son since he's been missing so much school due to medical problems. I'll have to look more into it but your post gave me somewhat of an idea about it.
