Personally, I cannot imagine homeschooling, but that said, it seems to work best when you have a network of parents to homeschool with. One parent may have a strength in math, another in literature, etc. Someone I know has a circle of homeschool friends and together they contract specialists for foreign language, art, music.

Simply because you think it doesn't make it so. There are countless reasons to homeschool - and many have nothing to do with religion. The only part of your post I am happy about is that you are a former teacher. I prefer open minded, well informed people teaching my children. NP [ Reply | More
