As you consider homeschooling as an option for your family, it's common to think of pros and cons.
Thoughts like:
Pros:
More time as a family
Slower pace to each day
Lower cost than private school
Time for extra curricular activities
Time for travel
Time to teach to each child's learning style
Cons:
Fear that you're not qualified to teach your own kids
Concerned you will lose your patience
Missing out on traditional school milestones
Fear that your kids will be upset that you homeschooled them
Worried your kids will miss their school friends and won't have enough social interaction
