I know this is going to get me a shit storm, but home schooling is probably the worst way to educate a child. If you have a crappy school public school send them to private. Most home schooled kids end up in a public highschool because their mom's can't teach them Chemistry, Physics, US History, Calculus etc etc, and when they do its a disaster. The kids are terrible at socializing, and are usually werid. There were two home schooled girls at my Highschool and they were not right socially.

My eldest daughter has been homeschooled since 2nd grade. You're right in that her mom couldn't teach her advanced math and science. So I did.

For the courses that required lab work, I let her take classes at the local community college. She took a full-time credit load there this year, and is transferring to a 4-year college in the fall as an engineering major. This summer she's volunteering as an EMT and taking classes to get her EMT-Basic certification.

She's 16

Wow! Not to horn in on your conversation, but what a terrific daughter you've raised! You have every right to be proud, because it is not easy to raise a kid these days.

My son starts college this fall. He's as ready as he'll ever be, and while he's not the high achiever that your daughter is, he'll get by. Not everyone can be a Leader. The world needs a few loyal Followers and Worker Bees as well. ;)

Wow. Are you free to teach at my house? The Chickadees all need remedial math this summer :-(.

I'm at the University of Illinois doing Electrical Engineering. The only problem i see is you better make sure she is ready to go to College. Not having gone to high school means she might be faced with the chance to use alcohol, drugs, and having sex. I honestly don't know one person in college who didn't at least have a couple beers at a party. However it seems like you care for her, so just talk to her about things like that and make sure she can come to you if shes got a problem. Its going to be one hell of a switch going from home, to 100% unsupervised environment.
