My parents never liked public schools. I grew up home schooled by them instead. 
I have been considering home schooling my kids are there any benefits?
They provide more one on one time with the children, and it doesn't cost the state, local, or federal government anything to fund. 
I may need to look into more, do you have to be a teacher to homeschool?
Nope, a parent or profession can home school but it would help to familiarize yourself with the regulations and requirements for your students to move forward in education.
