We started HSing 2 years ago for a number of different reasons. I thought I'd address your statement about CPS. Have you checked out the HSing laws in your state? It's really a good idea to make sure you are working within those rules (hopefully liberal ones) when you withdraw a child from public school. Or you do in fact run the risk of being hassled about withdrawing your child due to the mandatory attendance laws.
I think you said your child was in kinder, in which case he may be young enough that the mandatory attendance law doesn't apply yet. But you should be aware of the rules so you can avoid any problems.
Here's a link to a homeschooling website that lets you look up the HSing laws in your state.
