My kids are long grown and gone but I promote homeschooling to any young parents I meet who are not louts. I got a young black single mother that I worked with started on it when her kids were 4 and 2. It changed her while educating her kids way beyond their peers in only a couple of years. She is very conservative now but will only discuss politics and society with a few like minded friends. She took herself off of Food Stamps and housing subsidy when she figured out she could do things differently and figured out she did not want her kids living like that. Her speech lost the ghetto pattern and became quite good and her morals improved tremendously- because she learned what morals are. She is not even very smart but she has done wonderfully with her children. She has not married but her now 13 and 11 year olds do not have younger siblings and abortion is unthinkable.
When she started homeschooling she quickly learned that there is a network of homeschoolers who share tasks and support and there are band and sports because the parochial schools are eager to add homeschoolers to their programs to have enough participants for a band or a team.
