Dear Poonam
You are right. It takes tremendous courage to pursue home-schooling, especially when the whole world is going in a direction opposite to yours.
Your experiece/experiment has got off to an interesting start, however I would like to volunteer some advice.
Children need to learn a lot more beyond the curriculum. It is important for them to learn in groups, important for them to interact with other children their age - even fight with their peers.
I am not sure how the Home-schooling method will address this gap.
Children also benefit a great deal from gaining exposure to different individuals with different teaching styles - the school sports day, school annual function, school picnics - are all learning opportunities for children.
I shall wish you good luck, and will look forward to learning from your experience of homeschooling too.
Wish you all the best.
