stopquitdont, I hope it will cheer you up to know that I don't need convincing on the homeschool vs public school. The main thing I'm looking into is which homeschooling option I want to use, as there seems to be many. The local school district, in particular, is a bad one and is one of many things that helped me to decide that homeschooling would be better for both of my children. Right now I'm considering doing a public charter school (either CAVA or Julian Charter School) for a little while until I've learned more about homeschooling. I want to make sure I understand it well enough to not leave out something important, kwim?
