We chose to homeschool when it became apparent that my husband and I wanted to keep traveling for 6 mos. out of every year. It also was good for us as my firstborn was premature and the chances of learning disabilities are a bit higher in those kind of kids. I started researching it as soon as he turned 2, neither child has ever been in a public school and we are all the happier for it.
