And while I'm on a rant, I'm also sick of "Don't you worry about what he's missing?"

In the past 2 years, he's been on trips with me and/or my wife to Florida, Alaska, Minnesota, and California. We've taken shorter trips to Washington, DC, Gettysburg, Philadelphia, Mount Vernon, on and on. There's a chance he'll get to go with his grandparents to Ireland and England next year. We're planning a camping vacation with my wife's sister's family (yep, they're homeschoolers, too) to the Dakotas and Yellowstone. He either does schoolwork on the trip, or he works hard to get ahead and enjoy a break from normal classwork. On all of these trips, there are educational activites and just plain all-out fun.

I'll bet those extra-curricular activities stack up pretty well with whatever the local second grade class is doing.

Public schools haven't got a prayer.

Oh yes, I've gotten that question too! I would say that your son's activities so far stack up VERY well against what even some much older children in public school's have done. You know what? My daughter is now 19 year-old college student and her teachers are, so far, constantly amazed at her knowledge and grace under fire. One of the best four decisions I ever made in my life was to agree with my husband to homeschool her.
