I did not participate in the thread, but we HS and it was the best thing we could have done for our daughter (now 32).
I applaud your efforts.
Yes, RushIs - we homeschooled our son (29) and I would do it again in a heartbeat, (my) tears and all. I finally figured that the goal was to teach him to think for himself, and that he had 80 years to learn all the facts I neglected to teach him.
