i've been following this exchange between the two of you with interest... "education" does not have to mean "university/college." in fact, many--not all--but many colleges today will serve your child garbage for a lot of money... talk with any conservative professor... he will likely tell you the same... as a homeschooling parent, i plan on my oldest son taking some online course through "Escondido Tutorials" in the upcoming years... it's classic education at its finest... a homeschool friend of mine had her daughter take these courses... the gal is now in college... the college work is drivel compared to what she's received before college...
education to us is important... no matter what our children become... doctor, lawyer, preacher, mechanic, farmer... and we are hoping for some further formal studies after high school... likely college... however, we will not get into debt for it... we do not see the value in that...
The curriculum looks fantastic. Is there a fee?
You might check into dual credit at your local university or junior college. For junior and senior level courses for high school, our local community college offers free tuition for dual credit - so basically our homeschoolers not only earn college credits but it eliminates the costs of purchasing home school curriculum for two years.
