How do you feel about the quality and breadth of their education? Was there a home-school curriculum that you obtained and followed?
One question I've always had about home schooling is that it seems like it can narrow of the funnel of sources getting to a kid, both in terms of topics and philosophy. If the parent is interested in science and hates literature, the kid is probably going to get more science. (And that's not a challenge of you and your wife, but rather a general comment that I think would be true of a lot of people.)
I realize that a lot of parents have traditionally home-schooled because they want to narrow the sources in terms of philosophy (e.g., religion, social views). One can debate the merits of that, so I won't go into it. But in the Covid era, I would suspect that we got a lot more home-schooling for other reasons.
