Home school benefits?

Has anyone decided to pull their kids out of school and home school them instead. How good is a home school education? Is there a curriculum to follow?

About as good as the person educating.

You won't have to worry about your child being sexually active or having friends

You get out what you put in like most things in life.
The kids tend to lose a lot in the social and life skills department though.

You are asking a bunch of morons that know nothing about homeschooling, but have opinions that they heard from someone else. And, most of them were brought up in public schools.

Socialization practice. The children need reps working with other children and adults. They need practice encountering people who may have been taught the universe operates differently than they way they understand it.

A lot of people will show up on this thread and tell you it is a bad education and that your kids will be weird. If your wife is a fairly intelligent individual and you and her are not weird then your kid will very likely have a better education and will actually be better socially adjusted than most public school kids. Find good and challenging curriculums and be intentional about getting your kids out with other kids and they will be fine. With the exception of the first year or two our kids have been homeschooled. They are able to socially move between all types of adults and kids. My son just tested several years ahead of his grade level. It's been great for our family. We have a little sibling bickering but by in large we are really close and enjoy having more time together.

Can be very effective or a shitshow depending on the parent, child and curriculum. Protip: Have a backup plan in case of illness or other emergency. If the teacher gets sick or a tornado knocks down the school, the school system is able to adapt. You should have a plan too.

Benefit - you have control over whether or not your child is indoctrinated to be a socialist.
Seriously, like everyone else said, depends on the parent. I homeschooled one of mine for a year early on because he had serious issues reading. They weren't teaching phonics any more (not sure if they've ever restarted), so I kept him home for second grade and started at square one with how to sound things out. Since he was really good at math, also ramped him up to practically algebra. The one year of reteaching reading skills fixed the issue.
Especially if it is only one child, you can tailor everything specifically to them, without worrying whether the other 29 munchkins in the room are bored or struggling. Takes a bit more organization to do more than one, but my cousin homeschooled all 3 of hers k-12. The oldest of hers got a scholarship to Vandy, graduated from there with honors, and is now probably a socialist anyway living in California. The other 2 are currently in college.

I wish I was homeschooled and devoted 2 hours per day to making boudin and cracklins. I would have been a making millions a year

We have some friends who homeschool and I sort of envy their rhythm. They school at home, have social outings (hikes, fishing, playgrounds, etc) with other homeschool kids.
Main reason I never considered is long term viability. I could see homeschooling a 3rd grader but not an 8th grader or above, they’d just argue too damn much.
