What are the benefits vs. the cons... ?

I cannot seem to find a perfect article that supports my decision.

My hippie friend suggested how ssn# are not necessary? :/

I personally feel the pros n cons come out equal... and what if your child is kidnapped?

I PLAN TO HOME SCHOOL IS WHY

THE CHILD THEN AN ADULT COULD WORK FOR ME OR THEMSELVES, I WANT THEM TO CHOOSE.

I WANT HIM TO CHOOSE, IT IS HIS LIFE.

ALSO... SOME STATES REQUIRE SSN# TO HOMESCHOOLING AND SOME DO NOT.

I CANNOT DECIDE THE BEST OPTION SINCE PROS AND CONS SEEM EQUAL... SUCH AS... IF CHILD WAS KIDNAPPED THEN CAN YOU STILL FIND THEN WITH NO SSN# ?!
