I don’t homeschool, but I know families that do.
The greatest misconception I had years ago is the amount of time needed to homeschool. I assumed it was a full day, like public schools. The parents pointed out to me how much time is wasted in a normal class day - not only with pointless, nonsense lessons, but also, simply bringing slower kids up to speed and keeping class discipline.
For economic reasons, I continued school in public school and never learned another thing that I didn't teach myself or pay money for. I graduated high school a year early.
Public schools are the greatest waste of money and children that ever existed.
