Homeschooling

I want to thank all who contributed to this forum. I am going through the same thing, debating if I stay home and homeschool my child. Every time I drop him off to school, my heart breaks because the school is:
inept
discipline issues
poor classroom mangement skills
good concept school but poor execution-foreign language immersion school
Lack of patience and concern for student welfare exhibited by the principal and teachers
And the list goes on and on.

Currently, I am seeking another school for him but I am feeling very squeamish about making another choice, public or private.
My question is enlight of watching Marva Collins on CSPAN last weekend. Where are all the good teachers have gone?
Is it all about the paycheck, 6-7 hour work days, strong union and summers off attracting poor teachers?
