1) Homeschooling suits my son's shy temperment better than the public schools would.
2) The program we use offers a better academic education than our county public schools. Our emphasis is on learning the material and understanding how to apply it.
3) Our work schedules are often such that, were our son enrolled in public school, we would see him for about 2 hours each day.
