No religious reasons at all. I do not like the public school system.

In that case...

Make sure your curriculum is secular. I'd hit up eBay for books. If you get Saxon math books and make your kids complete them, rather than stop 1/2 through, they'll be ahead of their peers.

Do you or your partner have an education background? That's key. My parents didn't, but my dad is basically Jared from the Pretender and channeled anything he needed to (especially high-concept math).

I was also pretty self-sufficient, which saved me.

My sister wasn't, and it really stunted her. She has issues she's still dealing with today (on top of being a goddamn millennial who was spoiled rotten by my folks).

Agree with Rausch on the social aspect. My parents made sure I had a variety of social outlets (travel baseball, home school support group, 4-H, Scouts, church group, etc). They let my sister do just one (dance), which also stunted her.

As long as the child is enrolled in homeschool and the proper paperwork has been filled out so the tax dollars still go to the local school district your child can participate in sports and lots of other events to keep the social interaction that is very necessary on going.

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).

This.

I have never home schooled but spent time as an elementary tutor trying to catch kids up who's parents didn't take it seriously.

(Yes, I passed a background check. Yes, I was hired first for the public school system and then as a private tutor. Yes, I did make more doing that than I do now.)

Three things you need to know:

1) The law. Know what's required and make sure you meet requirements in your state or the gub-ment will step in.

2) One parent has to be home to do the teaching. This is a must. No exceptions.

If you can afford to pay for someone to school your child at home you can afford a private school.

3) Home schooling will likely put your kid ahead academically but also behind socially. Make sure he/she is in boy/girl scouts or other groups where they have significant time with kids their age...

My wife and I homeschool our 10 and 13 year old daughters. We can't afford private school or advanced classes and both of them test several grade levels higher than they are in and the public school programs to push them harder were a joke. We do it so we can challenge them more. We use several different online programs and academies for them. We found a version of the Missouri MAP test to give at the end of the school year. It's essentially the state of California's version of the Missouri test called the CAT. We do zero religious things and it's difficult sometimes to find non religious home school curriculum but it's doable.
