Homeschooling is great in that respect, but it's completely awful for denying kids the chance to play with a bunch of other kids a few times a day at recess. They also don't get as good a chance to learn directly from experience about dealing with assholes and standing up for themselves.
Siblings, church, sports, and scouts provide that and more, and usually with less horrible adults supervising things...
Church and sports daily?
Team sports, my guy. Kids absolutely need three things to really flourish, based on what ancient wise men proclaimed: A study of art. A study of gymnastic. A study of knowledge.
Go with something like Piano, Soccer and a second language like Mandarin (literally increases IQ).
