Does anyone here have any firsthand experience of the pros & cons of home schooling? Whether as a parent, child or friend/family member/neighbour?

I knew a couple families who tried homeschooling their kids, but neither stuck with it because of the overall difficulty managing time, discipline and different roles.

In the beginning, they were gung-ho about a curated, focused, accelerated learning track, but the bottom line for both was they got tired very fast.
