I have a friend who has spent the last year or so looking into what she would need to do to start home schooling her two girls. She does not like the Common Core and the standardized testing. They are both in public school now, and from what I hear are doing well.
I think my friend would do well, and would also make sure her girls were well socialized outside of the home classroom. She is a person of a strong Christian faith, but told me that she is going to keep religious studies away from the schooling, as the girls already go to Sunday School at their church and all. They currently go to a public school.
I do worry a bit that she is trying to over shelter her daughters from the big bad world, just from the ways I have seen both her and her husband interact with them.
But I feel that with the proper motivation on her part she will do fine.
