Why do you home school your kids?
Do you to it because of the bad experience you had in public/private school?
Do you do it because your child has a illness or a learning disorder?
Do you do it because your child was bullied?
Do you home school them because they got bad grades?
Did you do it because your child didn't have any friends?

In my opinion I think home schooling is awesome and so is school and I'm curious to see the reasons other parents home school their children/child and/or send on to school and keep the other home schooled.

All I want is your opinion on why you home schooled, not a fight on whose better.

I'm doing a project for my speech class and I could use from feed-back. Some teachers only call on the student who doesn't know the answer. Other teachers are habitually late for class. What's your complaint about college teachers? Any meaningful praises about them are welcome too!
