Would you consider homeschooling? What are the pros and cons for a first grader?

Question

Also, If you have any homeschooling programs to recommend, please do.

Answer

Someone asked a homeschooling question a bit ago and if you’re the same person sorry!
I’m a public school teacher. So I do understand why more parents are deciding on homeschooling. What you do need to make sure is 1. SOCIALIZATION! Most important. I get some home school students at the technical high school I teach at that are so socially and emotionally behind their peers they can’t and don’t end up making friends or fitting in. 2. Make sure your child is actually learning everything that they need. If college is in their future that means entrance exams or SAT’s are too and they need to be able to pass. 3. Make sure if you choose that homeschooling is no longer for your family that it’s at an appropriate time in their learning for them to reenter a public or private school. IE not sending them to school their junior year or their 8th grade year.

Answer

I’m planning on homeschooling.  Every time I tell someone and they say what about socialization she’s gonna be weird I just show them this. 
I’m not locking my kid in a freakin tower where she’ll never talk to or hang out with other kids. There’s plenty of homeschooling get togethers and field trips. And my kid doesn’t have to sit in a. Classroom with 30 other kids with one teacher spending more time trying to get everyone paying attention than actually teaching something

Answer

Because of school shootings and people graduating without knowing the real things that they need to know, I am seriously considering homeschooling. My child will go to preschool for 2 years, kindergarten, and then homeschooling. 
Main thing I worry about is socialization.

Answer

No I would never homeschool. We are, however, going to enroll our daughter in private school.
