I'm doing it. We've been homeschooling most of the kids lives. Didn't like the school system where we were stationed at one point and then found that we really liked homeschooling, YMMV. When My wife mentioned the idea of homeschooling I thought she was nuts (so did most of our family). I did lots of research trying to prove all of the theories about them turning out screwed up and not socialized, but the research proves exactly the opposite of all of the theories (Wikipedia Homeschooling, it's awesome), Experience has shown the same as my kids can make friends with anyone in the campground easily, but any adult who has a conversation with them can't believe they are that young and well behaved. The rest of our families have since become believers also. It isn't always easy but can be done.
The above mentioned websites are a great help and I researched them thoroughly. Using military camp grounds I spend less than my electric bill in the summer was in Florida, for a monthly camp spot with all utilities included. My kids still love it also and been doing it for a year and a half. My kids are 11 and 13, which is a little older than most on the above sites, and most families on the above sites fulltime with a 5ver, but some (like myself) us a MH.
It can be done and there are many doing it. That being said do some extensive research.
We use Florida for registration like many full-timers do, and it's fairly easy to comply with the homeschooling rules for that state.
If you have any specific questions don't hesitate to PM me. We even have some good pointers for Florida homeschooling laws.
