I don't trust public schools to teach my kids the essentials of critical thought and analysis or to keep them safe and not indoctrinate them into the standard "What do you feel" crap that I see from so many of my classmates. I was lucky too, my mom taught debate, US History, US Government, and English so I picked up a lot from her, including a love of US History and especially Revolutionary History.

My wife home schooled our three girls for about seven of their most formative years and it really paid off. They're very close, the girls are excellent scholars and well adjusted. And there's a very accessible and helpful online community of home schooling families that share curriculum and advice. There's even a school in Massachusetts that will send you all the books and materials, and then grade your child's work for you for a very reasonable price.
