I support more black families homeschooling their children. A lot of schools and curricula are toxic to black children. Black children are disciplined more often and much harsher than others, too.
For the dame reason people take French, Italian, German and Mandarin. MOST of those AMERICAN people never move to France/Belgium/Qeubec, Italy, Germany or China but they still learn about culture, art, history through language acquisition! Hell, Harvard just started a Gullah course!
There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with teaching a child ANY language. There are Czechs and Hungarians in Chicago teaching their children, Russians in Brooklyn, Jews with Yiddish AND Hebrew all teaching children their language but when it comes to African languages...
Please do!! I will pay for it. lol
I'd like to know more about the co ops. Are they predominately Black?We homeschool; this is our 2nd year. I have two boys and they are in 1st and 2nd grade. We do coop groups, they have the opportunity to play sports (or whatever extra curricular activity they desire; they pretty much do everything traditional students do. We actually spend more time out of the home than we did when my oldest was in public school. We have scheduled trips - educational and fun/age appropriate field trips. We are a part of the traveling homeschoolers, so we meet new people often, sometimes friendships stick, sometimes they don't. My children have friends though and they are not socially awkward. Lol. Even if they were it would be ok, I was a bit socially awkward throughout elementary school... Lol so was my sister, but we grew out of it.

U can always just supplement their education at home but I can understand why you would want to homeschool.
Just know that for some kids it would work while other personalities it may not. It’s not a one size fits all.
Also be sure to keep well rounded with extracurricular activities, sports, or whatever is appropriate for that child.
I pulled my daughter out of a "good public school" to homeschool her. And, she graduated and he is is super smart. Is working as an accountant by the age of 20 for the biggest at auction my city . She passed the exam with a 96 the first time. She was the youngest applicant and had the highest score. She has her own office and extension at her job. She has her own apartment townhouse. Her car is paid off. It is worth it
There are a lot of predominately black co op groups in the DMV area many are faith based through churches that have homeschool co op groups.I think that really has a lot to do with your location. The best I could find was a "diverse" group, and honesty, it wouldn't be diverse if it weren't for my family and one other family. I have yet to find a predominately Black group.

I'm gonna do all of the research I can and start my own. My son will be entering elementary school in 4 years. I think that's enough time.I think that really has a lot to do with your location.

I know people of varying income levels who’ve homeschooled INCLUDING PAYING for trained teachers to come to their home.We have decided to homeschool for a multitude of reasons. We saw issues within even the top notch preschool Montessori.
We refuse to let this country instill self hate, falsehoods, half truths and the like, into our children. Nope!
And all of the homeschool families black and white, the children no matter the age are much more grounded and 'normal' than these schooled kids. Smh.
We love that our children are being taught in a tailor made way that's best for them individually.
We also have a woman who homeschooled all of her now adult kids, come in 5x per week for an hour a day just to vary it up.
