My personal reason for choosing homeschooling for my four children, after discussions with my wife about our childhood educations in two different countries, was to ensure flexibility so that we would never be slowing down our children's education. That has allowed them to learn more at younger ages than is typical in United States schools, even in a good school district like the one we live in. This school year, all three of my children who are still minors are actually enrolled in public school programs (one full-time at the local high school, and the younger two full-time in an online public school). Next year we will try something different again. Flexibility and the opportunity to mix and match learning resources with children's needs is why we homeschool mostly, relying on outside resources as needed. My badly neglected personal website[1] (I've hardly updated any page on it for YEARS), provides some more details of my thinking about homeschooling, current to a decade ago and perhaps not fully representative of my motivations today.
