I concur in the main opinion. I write specially with regard to this court's affirmance of the trial court's ruling that the child should attend a public school. I believe that in many circumstances homeschooling can be an appropriate or advisable alternative to conventional schooling and that it can be more effective for some children. However, given the particular facts of this case, I agree with the main opinion's conclusion that the trial court had the authority to determine that the child should go to a public school and also that, given the deference this court must afford to the trial court's ruling based on ore tenus evidence, the father did not demonstrate that the trial court exceeded its discretion in reaching that decision.
