I just wanted to respond to point number 1. I was home schooled in third grade and in sixth grade. Both years I would spend no more than three hours a school day learning stuff. Upon enrolling for a private school in the fourth grade I went from being recognized as an average student in the 2nd grade to scoring head and shoulders better than anyone else taking the standardized test going into 4th grade. Needless to say they didn't require me to participate in the end of 5th grade years testing to enroll in the 6th grade. So, at least in my experience, when you're devoting one on one time with a child, it takes far less time to teach them as you can craft the teaching style to fit their needs.
