Same here for 4 - 70s into the 90s. My daughter is homeschooling her three boys. The 13 y.o. has a regular correspondence with an engineering association and the 4 yo. is voluble and articulate at an adult level except for what he is articulate about. The 9 yo is a reader. There is no TV in the house and the boys are not allowed access to the computer or to cell phones except one that only makes phone calls.

Outstanding, Arthurus. As a pneumonia plagued foster child in the 1960s they set up a basement room for me next to shelves containing Encyclopedia Britannica and Time-Life's Classic Literature Collection. And a record player next to a vast array of popular music from Sinatra to the Stones. When I got healthy enough to get back to real school the admin were befuddled as what to do with a kid testing three grades ahead of his age.

So yes - home schooling is the right thing no matter how inconvenient that is for the parents.
