Paging the ZOT Patrol?

In any case, my kids are not going to be exposed to the Public Schools when we have them. Now being Jewish, I don't think we're going the Christian route, but at the same time, I sure as hell am not going to have as the highlight of their day where they can recite how to put on a condom better than how many ammendments are contained in the Bill of Rights.

I don't think that anyone was implying that only Christian private schools were acceptable.

There is a wealth of homeschool material that is of a secular nature. We are orthodox Catholics, but I didn't use 'Catholic' homeschool materials with our kids, with the exception of religious instruction because I wanted them to have a broader view of life. I included Catholic materials as a supplement, though, to give them the whole picture, because some secular textbooks are dismissive of religious ideas. I'm using the 'Classical' approach with our daughter. If you can find a copy of "The Well Trained Mind" at your library, take a gander at it. Some of their ideas come from a 'Christian' perspective, but not overly so. It could easily be adapted for use by a non-Christian family.

Check out this website. It lists a lot of home school resources. If you scroll down the page you will find a long list of "Jewish Homeschooling" resources.
