We are. My wife has to put in a ton of time to make it all work, but my kids are excelling and enthusiastic about learning now because of it. We ended up doing it because it turned out that teachers were either keeping kids busy with make-work, mollifying bullies until they could pass them on to someone else, or cramming for standardized tests. We just decided that we'd had enough one day, and thankfully right before our youngest even started.
Funny thing is, they tested as "gifted" (95-99th percentile in the county) but it turned out they were ~2 years behind where they should have been. They've been catching up, but the "D's get degrees" mentality is alive and well in K-12 too.
