Insha'Allah, one final thing about a misconception a lot of people seem to hold about homeschooling: they are not properly socialized. The opposite is often the case. Since they are not segregated by age, most homeschooled children are able to relate to and be around (as in, they know how to talk to, respect and care) around older and younger people; this isn't to say non-homeschooled children aren't able to. Since most homeschooled children are finished all of their academic work within a few hours, they have plenty of time to be kids, explore, learn whatever it is they are passionate about, play in the neighbourhood and... take part in group activities with other homeschoolers as well as various extra-curricular activities with classroom schooled children.
In short, homeschoolers are not lacking in social environment, are not isolated in a corner of the house, chained to their beds... they interact with others and probably do so in a more relaxed way without the pressure of pending homework etc. Homeschooling is a subject I could talk about for a long time but I just wanted to shed some light here, not so much to persuade you or anyone else to like homeschooling but to demystify it a bit and let those who know less about it consider some angles which aren't always apparent.
