DD is writing an English Comp paper on the advantages of homeschooling. Those of you that do (or have done) it, what do you see as the major advantages?
Others can answer also of course, if you have something to add!

Close-knit family.
Large blocks of uninterrupted time.
Ability to learn about the things that interest you in depth.
Ability to spend many hours outdoors.
Ability to learn in the way best suited to you.
Being engaged in real-world experiences (rather than hearing about them in school).
Having relationships with people of all ages, rather than just in your class.
I could go on and on and on!

Pros:
Christ centered
Able to go at the child's pace
Able to be around children and adults of all ages
Lots of outdoor time
The ability to combine academics with practical life skills.
Complete control over curriculum
And that's just a quick list

Being able to teach on your schedule, not the 8-3 or 7-3 that PS mandates. There was many a time my youngest dd would read or do writing til 2am then sleep till noon on days we planned on doing Astronomy @ night lol.
Teaching subjects in a way that works for you and your child instead of Text book curriculum all the time (this includes real world learning & museum trips).
Being able to move ahead in subjects when a child is ready instead of waiting til the school calendar says you can.
Getting involved with a mixture of adults & kids, instead of just same age all the time.
Being able to travel or move when you want without disruption of learning
