I don't necessarily see homeschooling as a good thing some of the time.I don't see the problem with sending your children to schools. They get to mix with other children and they get to learn things that I would not be able to teach them.
This being said there is a lot of garbage in the school systems. But as far as teaching them about God, we should be doing this at home and anything that the schools teach that is garbage, should be corrected at home.
A lot of the way children develop, I believe has a lot to do with their home life. I heard so much stuff in school that I know is garbage.
They get to socialise with people their age and get to go out of the house.
Also, we are told to witness are we not?
If our kids give their life to Jesus, but are homeschooled, how can they witness?
Through our youth group, we have had so many kids become followers because of peer-to-peer outreach.
Some are obviously false converts or come to church as a social club, but we have had several genuine life changes.
