On the order of 90% + people who start home-schooling, abandon it within a year, not appreciating the tremendous amount of work it takes.

The numbers I saw at my former church were just the opposite; at least 90% of the familllies that started home schooling continued for several years, if not all the way through high school.

I am curious where that particualr stat came from.

We planned to homeschool for two years when we pulled our son out of public school, 8 years ago, when he was in 5th grade. We loved homeschooling so much that we never went back.
Our son graduated in June. He was accepted to all 4 colleges/universities he applied to and received hefty scholarship offers from 2 of them. He is a well rounded young man who was governor at Boy's State among many other honors and awards. I'm proud of him and of the education we gave him.
