Maybe this thread is side-tracked a bit..

I think the good part of home-schooling is you get to make choices to teach your kids. Different kids respond to different teaching styles which the school system doesn't cater too. For younger kids- I'd say it's a bunch of fun. I know many adults 30-50 which were home schooled- whom are excellent and not social miss-fits.

It's only down side I see is it places lots of responsibilty on the parents. Young earth creationists? Young earth theory is some cool reading... explored it a bit myself.
