Does anybody homeschool their children? If so, do you do it because of your phobia or for other reasons?

Also, if you were able to homeschool (stay at home parent, etc) would you do it?

I don't homeschool but I was thinking about doing it. Not because of my phobia but because my son has cerebral palsy and he goes to a regular elementary for Preschool. We have to walk through the playground to get to his class and a couple of times I've heard older kids say he walks like a dinosaur or call him the "dinosaur kid." He's only three so luckily he doesn't understand what they're saying is towards him. I don't want to shield him forever but just until he is old enough to understand.
