Wow, homeschooling 6 kids would be hard work. Good on you!

It is something I am considering doing for Jack as he is already reading quite well and I'm worried he might not be well catered for in conventional schooling and might get bored. I am not sure yet, but will be looking into it further soon. I am also considering other options such as composite classes and Montesorri schools.

I would be interested to know how you have compensated on the socialisation front. I know there are organised activities for home-schooled kids - do yours do these, and if so do you find it's enough?
