As someone who was home schooled for part of his K-12, I would say a few things:
- Have a plan going into it. What's the purpose behind doing it? Religious reasons? Trouble at school for your child? Dissatisfaction with the school?
All factor in differently in how you should approach it.
If it's a one-year stopgap, make sure the curriculum you're setting up will keep your kid(s) on track. And stay away from the religious-focused home school books.
- think about how well your child self-studies. This is critical. Kids who self-study well are set up to be successful in home schooling. Kids who don't will need a lot of attention during the day.
There are a lot of other things to think about, but there's situation specific. If you share a little more about you kid/situation, I'd gladly share additional thoughts.
It can be really successful, but how good the kid is at school and how prepared the parents are to teach difficult subjects are really key (as is the relationship between parent and child).
