If you do this, do (him|her) one favor - let them get some interaction with
other kids.  

Homeschooling is good, but too often, I see kids who were homeschooled, but 
unfortunately locked away from interactions with other children, which helps 
develop personality and a good concept of interpersonal relationships, social 
behavior, etc.

(A few years ago, I long-term dated a girl who was attending college at the age
 of 16 - she'd been adopted at birth by a couple who was in their 60s, and then
 homeschooled.. then pushed to be a local model/beauty queen, played five or 
 six instruments, etc... so by the time I ran into her, she was quite messed up
 in the head... )
