When the choice is be happy with your assigned school based on your location, or you have to uproot and move your entire household, homeschooling becomes one of the few options when public school is failing one of your kids.
- chasd00 3y agoIf you have the ability and desire to homeschool then it's always going to be the best choice. Only if you feel like you won't be a good teacher or you do not have the resources should you consider public/private school. My kids are in public school because neither my wife nor I have the time to homeschool. However, I feel like we still do about 25% homeschool because of the engagement required to actually educate our kids. They basically goto school to sit in a chair until the workday is almost over. /both our kids are in one of the "best" public middle schools in DFW supposedly. It's still filled with the most wildly incompetent staff imaginable.

School, especially for younger kids is all about social relationships, managing emotions/empathy and less about education/academics.
