O god, please dont homeschool him. I was homeschooled for six years, from grade 4 to grade 10, and it was hell. I rarely socialised, and everything was just textbook-to-notebook learning - nothing interactive or hands-on. Being stuck in the house all day was also just horrific - there was no chance to get a change of scenery or a feeling of perspective on the home situation. They were the loneliest years of my life.
Sorry to be dramatic, but I really dont think many people realise how horrible homeschooling can be.
