I am not wishing to sound judgemental or critical because I think that for some children/parents home schooling can be very beneficial!
I'm just trying to get some perspective from others who have more experience with it. Reason being is that dss' mum has recently asked dp about home schooling dss. He doesn't really know much about it either way but from what I do know I would think dss is better off in school for the following reasons:
He is a very sociable child with lots of friends at school. If he was at home he would have very limited opportunities to interact with his peers
He is doing well academically, and has no trouble with bullies or anything similar
Dss' mum works part time but has multiple health issues and somewhat limited mobility.
It seems to be that there would be no real benefit to taking him out of school and that she might struggle to keep him stimulated and challenged given her health issues and it might be too much for her to manage. I mean that kindly.
But I'll be honest and say I don't have any experience of it. Aibu to think it's a bad idea?
