Those in Colorado that are finally sick of this crap can find all they need to know about Colorado homeschooling here:

We've been homeschooling in Colorado for 8+ years and the support networks are GREAT! (And no...your kids will not be social retards - they will just be associating with other kids who aren't into drugs, crime, slothfullness, etc.)
BTW...Colorado just held its annual state Spelling Bee last week. Seven homeschoolers got to participate (they made up a small fraction of the 250+ students at the Bee). Three of the seven finished in the top ten, while five of the seven finished in the top 34. Not bad for kids that studied within their individual family units and received no special spelling training. My homeschooled son won the state competition last year, and the trip to Washington, D.C. for the National Spelling Bee was an absolute blast!!
