My two are grown up now, but if I had eleven year olds now, they wouldn't be going to school. You see, since they were atc school, I've spent time working for an LEA and realised how incredibly easy and how much better it woudl have been for them.
I also think that too many people get the wrong idea about home education. They believe that just because kids might not be doing the same stuff as in schools, that they're nor learning as much, when in fact they learn more, and more useful stuff at that. They also get the wrong idea about how home-educated youngsters socialise (or don't, in their eyes). In my limited experience, this is one of the uppermost things in a parent's mind when they home-educate and it seems their kids are often better socialised than school-goers.
Good luck to anyone who's doing it, or thinking about doing it.
