My son homeschooled 3 years! The next year my son did half day at home and half at elementary school. It worked for our purposes for half a year.
It would have worked better at the middle or high school level because you have distinct class periods. At the elementary level a teacher might assign a social studies paper on say black history month famous person and he was doing social studies with them in the afternoon. But they might work on the paper during Language arts in the morning (but we had our own thing going in language arts at home and didn't know that the other kids were working on their papers during language arts). So he would miss out on important instructions and always felt a step or two behind. Communication should have been better.
Also, he was doing only afternoon classes with them. Science was one of the classes. So the school had a fancy science lab and each class was scheduled in once a week or every other week.of course that was in the morning (when we had other things planned). So he was torn between fun science or our home school activities.
Finally he just went to school full time.
