My son is almost 9 years old, he has been attending public school. He lives with his father and stepmother and they want to take him out of school to homeschool him. They say that it is for education reasons, because it is the last few weeks of school and he isn't learning anything, just re-cap of the year and for some reason that is a problem for them. I am strongly against the idea, but I have the feeling that we will be going to court eventually, if they try to push it. Another thing that was brought up was school shootings, and in my personal opinion, there are hundreds of thousands of schools in the United States, and only a few known school shootings. Please give me some advantages and disadvantages, I am trying to see this from both sides and keep an open mind, but I don't think anything is going to convince me that homeschool is best. One more thing I should mention, his stepmothers family just inherited a 50 acre farm, they want to move him there (middle of nowhere).
