I did. Kids all grown now, doing fine. My oldest daughter hated going to school, asked to stay home, so we started there. Then we read up and got involved with other homeschoolers. I recommend John Holt's books, "Deschooling Society" by Ivan Ilich, and anything by John Taylor Gatto.

Not sure how we would have managed if we both had to work, or for a single parent. I had a flexible job and schedule, my wife was a full-time mom, teacher, and social director. We didn't follow any curriculum, more like the Montessori model. All of my kids have high school diplomas (through community college), one has a BA, another still in college.
I went to private (Catholic) elementary school, then public schools. My wife went to public schools.
