Parents: What were the underlying factors that caused you to choose homeschooling your children?

Can you answer ThinkingMan2006’s question about Homeschooling?:

I am doing research for a Masters level education course and am thinking about writing my thesis on the sociological benefits and drawbacks of homeschooling. So many people argue that homeschoolers do not get the same amount of socialization as those who attend “traditional schools”. I am going to start by looking at motivations for homeschooling versus sending your child(ren) to public or private schools.

My son will be entering Kindergarten in fall 08 and I plan on homeschooling him and his two little sister until 6th grade at least. I need help getting started.

What laws force the homeschool online companies to report dropouts?

Can you answer domesticgoddess’s question about Homeschooling?:

What accountability is there (if any) regarding home schoolers who dropout?
Are the companies who are “teaching” high school kids online obligated to report their non-attendance or performance within the first semester they quit?

If there is no law protecting the education of these kids, how can anyone say “no child is left behind?”

Are there any checks and balances for these kids? Surely we don’t leave the accountability to the parents alone?
