Congratulations. Glad they turned out well for you.
There is no question that there are crazies out there who use the idea of home-schooling to abuse their kids in various ways, from poor education to hidden physical abuse. Home schooling advocates need to address that.
I've encountered quite a few of these. The parents are often in an offshoot religion or cult...with survivalist, apocalyptic, and government conspiracies thrown into the mix. Anyone who doesn't buy into their particular beliefs is in league with the devil.
Wasn't intending to brag, just to counter the idea that home-schooling produces mostly ignorant misfits.
I have read somewhere that Harvard, at leat, among the Ivies, looks favorably on home-schooled applicants.
I'll try to find a link, but work needs are calling, not sure when it'll happen.
