I homeschool my 8 yr old daughter. it is going great, except for reading! it is easier b/c I can stay on one subject until she gets it. there's no pressure to keep up or be done at a certain time. it is at her pace.
I homeschool our 7 yr old son with asd. He gets one on one teaching which he needs and likes when he's done with school he can play or do what he likes. It also gives you the ability to tailor the circulum to your child and not have the system hope they are doing the right way. You can do it. You know what's best for your children!
