dont consider it... DO IT. You can teach your own kid in a shorter amount of time. Better and have fun. we have home schooled our kids all the way through. They start at 9 done by noon. of course they are constantly learning so they are really not out of school... shhh dont tell them.

My friends kid was up from Texas (where he is actually in a very good school). She told me he was having some trouble in his algebra 2 class (mostly in graphing rational functions stuff like (X^2 - x + 6)/(X^2 -4)), and asked if I could help. Though I use fairly high level math all the time, I hadn’t done that particular kind of thing since I was his age 28 years ago. I thought about it for a while, and formulated a plan in my head. The next day, as we got started, I asked him how his teacher explained how to do it. I was entertained with the most complicated explanation I had ever seen. I proceeded to show him the simple steps I had formulated in my head the night before, and one hour later he had fully got it. He was amazed that in one hour I made him fully understand with simple concise rules what his teacher was unable to explain in 3 weeks.
