Does anyone here homeschool their child/ren? I been having urges to pull my son out of public schooling for a while now, and while my sons mother is skeptical I really feel like that is what I want to do... If you have any good or bad stories about homeschooling please share... I have a tendency of jumping into things blindly I want to make sure I am not making a mistake...

I haven't personally homeschooled, but I know of someone who does. I told her I was interested in homeschooling my children and she told me that it was really easy. She said you can make the lesson plans day by day (most schools have them planned out for the full year). She even said that once a week her children would get together with other homeschooled children and have little field trips and do other activities together. Also, once a year your son would take a placement test which would determine his grade level.

I have been having the same thoughts as you as well. I have had some family home school and I have seen the kids excel and thrive in academics. Most of them have graduated early and in honor difficulty classes.
The only concern I've noticed is that the social skills are. ..different. They have had a hard time with keeping and making friends. I know even in regular school you could have that issue too so I'm not sure how much is actually accounted from home schooling.
My child is highly social and I would hate to take that aspect away when that is central to her person. I also want her to have an exceptional education.
So it's come down to priorities. Right now I've been supplementing school with additional work here at home.

I'm just about done with the public school system and my little one is barely in Kindergarten. She's smart enough to be learning a new language yet during the months from Oct-Dec their work consists of "learning" about Holiday fairy tales and all projects and homework are centered around this. You're really investing months of my kid's life teaching them about things.. that are blatant lies. Evenl if we did celebrate, everything she "learned" would be null and void by the time she didn't believe in Santa anymore. I would be stifling her potential by depending on the school system to teach her according to her capacity. Homeschooling is looking like my only option.

I know of one child who is home schooled and the issue is of social awkwardness but that may be because of the personality and them already feeling entitled, ( white privilege).
Other than that I've seen many success stories, we are our children's first teachers & last because our teachings never end. I've always supplemented my children's education on a daily basis. It lets you know their strengths & weaknesses & their individual learning style.. That way you can tailor the lessons specific to that child. That being said it takes commitment & dedication on a daily with planning & structure. The younger the better to start so that you can mold that desire to learn if it's not innate. Wish you much success in your decision.

I think it's a reason why it's on yo heart and you should run with it. We shouldn't send our kids to the white man to be taught anything. Sounds ignorant but you must carefully review the facts to overstand. But in doin so there is a great responsibility you must be ready to handle. Most people have to send their kids to the white man because they have to work it's not enough time in the day to have the energy to keep up with a child's mind. The school system is about learning class and mannerism until college which is jus a learning institution where they train u for a specific trade or course study which isn't knowledge at all. Every single day every single minute a child is learning seen and unseen the more time with the parents the more influence you are granted over their actions. Ask yourself do you want that i think it would be great. But we have to give them all aspects don't short change the child the school system has twelve required levels of learning that makes no sense when learning is a life long process that alone is the problem with their education it's false.

I knew maybe two or three kids who were home schooled. Some of them were much smarter than us "public school kids". They were not socially awkward either. It depends on the kid's personality. There are A LOT of kids who are socially awkward in public schools. I think most people imagine the movie "Bubble Boy" but it's not like that. They are not locked out of society. As the child gets older, they may want to go to a high school. I think quite of few parents do home schooling in elementary and middle school to teach them them up and then allow the child to go to a public high school as they will be old enough to discern ever thing that they were taught.
