Mission statement: On this blog we explore why homeschooling can be a better option for children and families than a traditional classroom setting. We'll also explore homeschooling issues in general, educational thoughts, family issues, and some other random stuff.

Glenn Reynolds' column: How homeschooling threatens monopoly education
I ditto that. We are very faith oriented but we did not begin schooling at home for religious reasons. Even if we did, what exactly is so scary about us teaching our nine kids at home? They are well ahead of heir peers, well socialized, well adjusted, happy productive members of society. We have one graduated who has a successful business and Another who is graduating this year who has self taught herself to write code and been running a well paid successful web design business for three years. Oh and they managed to do all that without the threat of being shot at or falling into drug use or promiscuity. I ask again what is scary about that?

But don't you get tired of people of faith being described as "scary"?
