The main problem I see with homeschooling is the lack of socialization. Most people who lack the pedagogical knowledge do not bother to attempt to homeschool (seeing public school as a form of free daycare) but some do abuse the system and essentially put their children to work under the guise of homeschooling.

My current, half-baked plan is public preschool until age five. Homeshcool with certain things like Physical Education, Scouts and sports at public school until age 12-14 then full public school.

Here in the United States we are allowed great flexibility in how we homeschool, giving us a hybrid solution. I look forward to your future posts.
