- We have a smart son who is neuratypical. The combination of him being bored and sensorially overstimulated resulted in some really bad behavior. School wanted to treated him like a problem rather than a kid with some special needs. Once we started hearing suggestions to have him put on medication, we decided to homeschool. He's currently thriving, reading at several grade-levels higher than his current grade and doing mental math for fun.
- Our kids are well socialized. The "socialization" argument against homeschooling is mostly a joke. Kids don't learn how to behave in society from other kids, they learn how to behave from watching adults. Regardless, our kids have many friends and play sports and attend many activities. The fact that we as parents know exactly who they're spending time with every day is a huge positive factor of homeschooling. This is important to me. I was exposed to hardcore pornography and drugs before I was 10 years old, I want a better childhood than that for my children.
- We don't waste time. We have a class of 3 rather than 30. That means we can pack maximum education in and still have time for other things. When we were in regular school, we'd all get home at 5:30 - 6:00 and rush through dinner so that we could get through homework before bedtime. We weren't spending much time together as a family, and much of the homework was low-value, IMO. It was exhausting. Life is so much better for us now.
