Hey! Second generation home schooler here! Never went to school until college. Graduated with honors when I did and now a registered nurse since 10+ years.
Homeschooling works 100%.
Go for it.
No one knows your kids better than you and the fact that you want to pursue this for the benefit of their wellbeing shows you are up for it.
Home ed in the UK is very easy as there are thankfully no rules in place. You're free to teach them what you want. Teach them the things they actually need to know and when theyre old enough, teach them what they need to pass GCSEs.
You dont need to teach them everything that kids learn at school. You can however, teach them things they DO need to suceed at life. Like life skills. Homeschooling is awesome as you will know how your kids learn best and can make school fun. We never did more than 3 hours of school a day. And then we played. Had the best childhood ever. Never had issues socialising. My mum made sure we were enrolled in sports and choirs and other extra curricular things that were fun. We had a hobby farm.
In college I had As in my english classess where school kids had Cs and Ds. And we never learned grammer just read tons of books.
Kids love to learn. You feed their interests in a fun way and they will excell.
The school system kills creativity. It is a proven fact
Watch this: j
If you can afford it, do it. Homeschooling doesnt cost much. Get a twinkl membership for £7/month and a printer. Buy books at charity shops or on vinted. Get in touch with home ed groups on fb. And most importantly: follow and promote your kids interests! They'll likely never be a math teacher if they hate math.
We're going to home ed out 2 kids as soon as old enough. Good luck!! Xx
