You will have noticed that home
schooled kids are over-represented among the winners of spelling
bees, math competitions, chess tournaments, music competitions, and
the like. They aren't smarter or more talented. They are better
educated.
That's Better Educated.
Period.

Home schooling is a popular subject. A web search produced 453-million hits. A YouTube search produced a paltry 38-million. My local library has dozens of books on home schooling.
I totally recommend home schooling if
you can possibly manage it. For your son's and daughter's sakes,
give them the education the government run schools can't. (Actually,
they can. It's just that they won't. It's too much work.) If you
think I'm biased against public schools, you're right. Read this:

If you can't manage home schooling,
then get your boy hooked up with books from here:

"Our mission
is to help boys become self-motivated, lifelong readers."
If you're worried about them not
developing athletic skills or socializing, then stick them in little
league or soccer or something. They will excel - if you home
coach them! (My personal choice is to put them in martial arts,
like judo. Let's have them learn a life skill as opposed to a game.)
