I didn't want to detract an existing thread but when home schooling option came up in light of school shootings, I wanted to post another schooling option - Online Public School such as K12 - https://www.k12.com/k12-education/how-online-learning-works.html
When our honor/gate/dean's list daughter entered public High School and increasing concern for bullying/drugs/sex/violence/weapons became an issue, we examined different schooling option and decided on K12 public school option at no cost to us.
Instead of being distracted daily of peer pressure and violence concerns, our daughter was able to better focus on class work and homework with personalized attention/feedback from teachers (How many teachers spend most of their class time with "trouble" students? ). We noticed an immediate change in her stress level and improvement in grades.
Another benefit was being able to travel as long as there was internet access to log into classroom each day.
And of course, no concern for school shootings.
So if you have school age children, consider alternate schooling options.
