My eldest is off at college with a scholarship that pays for his tuition and another $4000 toward room and board because he is in the honors program getting a double major in math and computer science. In his senior year in high school he got Math Student of the Year at the local community college. I'd say homeschooling worked well for him.

I'm still schooling my youngest, but he is different. He has Down Syndrome and so needs a lot more work. I'll probably home school him till 21. He did 7th grade twice (at my request in public school) and is doing 9th twice at home. We'll probably do 10th twice, 11th twice, and 12th twice to try to catch him up (or close) to his peers. He is making more progress at home than he did in the public school even though he was with some amazing teachers, two of three of them were the husband and wife who run his special needs after school program where he gets OT and speech therapy and they have adopted a bunch of autistic and down syndrome kids. They are amazing, but they can't do with a classroom what I can do one on one in less time.

I guess you can tell I am a HUGE homeschool proponent.
