We don't have kids yet but when we do we are thinking about private or home schooling. I'm just really not happy with the way public schools work and the complete lack of learning that seems to go on.

I'm a public school teacher, and your son's assessment of public school is definitely correct.  :)  I agree that it's not for every child and every family.  We're looking into private/charter schools for when my son enters school age (he's currently enrolled in a private pre-school, but they stop at the Kindergarten level.) 

I know a few homeschooled kids and I can tell that with the right plan, it goes very well for them.  There are some excellent communities online for people who homeschool, so you should definitely begin reading up and get input from others who do.  Good luck! :)

I don't homeschool my kids, but then again, we live in one of the best public school districts in the country, so I don't feel bad about sending them to school.  And they love it - they love their teachers, their friends, all the field trips and projects.  *shrug*  I guess it just depends on each individual family.

I do know a few families that homeschool their kids.

I might be a bit biased (based off of my own profession), but I dont think I could homeschool kids if I ever end up with any.

That said, id have to know the school inside out.  Its not just about public v.s not, im really sensitive with the smaller things because of my own childhood.

Its not to say that homeschooling isnt the way to go--if it works for that individual family, it works^^

From what I've seen, homeschooling is probably not something I'm going to do.  I've known people who were home schooled, and they ended up fairly sheltered and clingy towards their parents.  But that's them, I'm sure everyone comes out differently.  I'm all for private school, though!  I went to a very small private school for middle and part of high school.  Everything was very personal and everyone knew everyone.

Public schools are just atrocious.

I was homeschooled! I was pulled out in first grade. My struggle with reading ended in a couple weeks of being taught by my mom lol. I went back to public school for 6-7 grade, then homeschooled during everything else.

I'm tempted to homeschool my own children someday, but I'll have to play it by ear since everybody is different.

In the unlikely event that I'm ever a parent, my kids would definitely be home-schooled.  I had some not-so-nice experiences in public school and no child of mine will ever set foot in one.

I personally wouldn't homeschool any kids I might have. I think it's important to be exposed to other children, even the nasty ones because it teaches us how to deal with them. Plus I'm hoping to be living in an area with half decent state schools by the time I breed :P

Personally I wouldn't wish any child of mine to go through what I did at public secondary school. They were the worst years of my life.
But of course, each area is different.
