Yes, I agree. Almost always the parents are devoted to education and their children. Schools cannot deliver the goods. I am not too keen on private and religious schools. They covet the public school system and its theories far too much.
It's a sacrifice to home-school, but it's an investment that will pay off many times over in educational results, character building, love, happy times, normal marriages, wonderful grandchildren. My best investment was in home-schooling. It has made me a happiness-millionaire.
I'd be curious if your children have chosen to homeschool as well? We too are planning to homeschool so I'm on your side. I've always been curious as to whether the children of homeschooling parents decide to do the same.
