That is one of the biggest loads of bs I have seen on FR yet..but thanks for the fertilizer...
When our two kids were in second grade, we considered removing them and homeschooling them. However, after looking at other options and knowing our (and their) temperments (ie. all strong-willed!), we chose instead to enroll them in a non-denominational Christian school.
There they received an excellent education and are both now in college.
Part of the reason we were able to afford private school is that when they were born, we began saving for the "college" fund. We used, and replenished, it to help fund their 3-12 private school education.
Some people/parents do not have the temperment to home school. The results for those who do, though, is outstanding. I have yet to meet a properly homeschooled adult who isn't well-mannered, well-spoken AND well-educated!
