As promised, here’s my list:

1. Time for my family: Yes, I homeschool, and yes, my kids are with me 24/7. So how much more time do I want with them?

home schooling worked well for us, our daughter is now a college graduate and an aspiring mapping technician.

HSLDA was a big help as was CHEFA and CHEA

I highly recommend taking advantage of like services in your educational quest.

remember the average home school parent has a masters degree or better, that’s more education than the average public school teacher. that said neither my wife nor myself had more than a high school diploma when we home schooled.
I recommend taking all the way through high school.

Two kids totally HS'd here....

I've a degree....wife a HS diploma.

HSLDA helpful at first.....until we learned the "ropes".

Local "groups" very helpful....

Get your kids to be comprehensive readers...and you will have some self learners forever.

That is absolutely correct. Get them to read and write really well and keep them with you while impressionable. Voila! Great kids.
