I didn't read all the responses above. Sorry.
First. Your kid's health is a big deal. I have a kid with medical anxiety. We changed schools for this and had an excellent result. I don't have a problem with you homeschooling - with some thoughts on this.
My wife was a professionally trained teacher. She has commented that even with her education, teaching all topics is something that she can't do. There are simply too many and too much to know and teach for one person.
Also, there are lots of schools that allow sports / extracurricular activities for home-schooled kids.
Finally, there are lots of group activities for home-schooled kids.
My thought? Do what is safe and healthy for your kid BUT weave in items above to limit the isolation and weaknesses inherent in the system.
To all the folks above that are advocating tough-love. What if it breaks the kid vs helps them? How you gonna fix that?
