Unfortunately, most of the people I know who want to home school (including members of my family) barely scraped through high school and never went to college. They don't know who Euclid is. They have atrocious spelling and grammar. They don't have the resources to put together a good schooling program, they just don't want their kids "indoctrinated" by public schools. It sounds like you have a well thought-out plan. The only thing I would say that school gives you that you can't get at home is lots of interaction with all kinds of different people. People you really don't like, people you find fantastic. Different viewpoints from different teachers and students. But I know there are a lot of home schooling groups that help to recreate that, as well as doing group projects with other kids. Kids need to learn how to deal in group situations and with different kinds of people. And if you can give that to them as well, they won't be weird.Alicia Enoreply@blogger.com
