Homeschooling is great for some and for others not. I know very godly children raised in homeschooled setting and very godly children raised in the public school enviornment. Personally I would not try to push either one. Perhaps it would be best to make sure the options are known with much grace and mercy and then allow the Holy Spirit to move.
We homeschooled our son. His education and attention span are way beyond average. Still...if he could do it over again he says he would like to be in school by high school. If I could do it over again I think I would choose a Christian high school for him. It is one of those hindsight things..ugg.
