For what it’s worth, I’ve just started helping out at a school that’s co-owned by the parents, and it’s made a couple of things clear(ish) to me. The first is that without any home education, running a school becomes incredibly hard – i.e. if parents don’t chip in, and take responsibility, then the teachers can’t really function. And the second is that education & learning is at least 50% social. For sure, we’re teaching them stuff – and they’re learning a lot – but the best things they’re learning (in my view) are social. Things like the idea that people have wildly different views and approaches, how to get on with people you don’t particularly click with, how to respect each other, why bullying is so horrible etc.

I’m not saying this can’t be done at home, just that if I had kids I would find it incredibly hard to give them that social education. Anyway, good luck with your decision, whichever way you decide to go.
