Still interested in being educated on homeschooling? My experiences were a lot like Rosie's. My mom really tailored the program for each of us (and continues to do so for the little boys), so I was more math-and-essay oriented, while my sisters did more arts and crafty stuff, or more hands-on things. I also read thousands of books - fiction and non - which helped.
The best thing about homeschooling is that it's customizable. Plus, if you wake up one week and decide that you want Friday off, you work ahead and get all your Friday assignments done, and spend Friday reading "Dune". Until I was in high school, we'd get done before noon and I'd spend the afternoons in a book.
In high school, my mom wanted more 'hours' of work out of me. I'm not sure whether she ever guessed that math took me an hour because for half that time I was reading...
You'll have mail later on tonight. I had a very productive lunch hour.

That's kind of what I'd do, except I did it in school :) I'd do all my homework in class 1st hour while the teacher was lecturing on stuff I already knew, then the rest of the day in my other classes I'd read LotR and comic books and work on designing D&D modules :) In retrospect it was a psychological defense mechanism against being bored silly.

Cool! Looking forward to seeing the next chapter/s. I got a little more done last night.
