Under normal circumstances, I do not recommend home-schooling. Unless your kid suffers from some actual medical conditions (physical or psychological) that would make it difficult for him/her to mingle with a group of people (like maybe Down's), I would suggest getting your kid out to socialise. They need friends and an environment that fosters relationships. Academic achievements can never only be the sole considerations in considering a kid's education.

If you've no confidence in public education system, at the very least go for a private one. If it's too unaffordable, at least try public until standard 6. Then, decide what to do again when your kid completes primary education. One step at a time. I would not recommend home schooling.

Depends where you go for home schooling. Places like Campus Rangers in Seri Petaling are home schooling despite being very international school model like...
Even Kasturi Tuition Centre last time I surprised. Kids are going there for home schooled for SPM/IGCSE.

At the end of the day, how lessons are conducted. Is the teaching any good.
Is home schooling centres are good as international schools.

Does anyone opt for homeschooling or unschooling for their children also? Can share your experience or challenges you faced? What are your thoughts on homeschooling in Malaysia?

I have some friends who decided to let go of public schooling in Malaysia and gave their children homeschooling. Some of them opt for "unschooling" and after some years, their children did very well.

One of them studied culinary vocational school and in his journey to become a chef at a young age. One of them is passionate about baking since young and now became a professional artist baker and open a baking school in her 20s.

My girl is still young but I want to start planning now for her education. I was thinking maybe sending her public schooling until Standard Six / PT3. During that period to discover her talent and passion and consider switching to Technical and vocational education and training (TVET)?

ahhhh.... you so fast determined your kid not the book smart study type ah.
So fast already plan join TVET without giving her tuition classes and basic training wheels to survive Primary School Leaving Exams or PT3 ....?

Again the typical route most kids who too poor to afford private is until SPM, join Diploma or Foundation then Degree.
Just let her explore her own options. And ask her what she wants.
