Algebra is not the only high school math that is taught. Geometry, pre calculus and a raft more.
I am not suggesting that one shouldn’t home school based solely on one set of curricula. To think that you can self teach mathematics is a kin to having yourself for a lawyer

And if they don’t get it, another homeschooling parent or student helps them out.”
Did you see that I said I’m not teaching them, their teachers are on those sites and on CD-ROM, help from other students (hello, high school tutoring is the same) and FReepers? So while my daughter is studying Calculus next month, I can’t do Algebra. Those who are smart find the information without the government doling it out.
Did you bother to look at those sites?

But I’m not. I told you that.
>>And for the record.... my child when in high school didn’[t hang out with the dope smokers, the drinkers, the overtly sexual.... <<
Well good for you and good for them. At the High School that my daughter would be attending, a note just went out to all the parents that the Prom is in doubt because they had problems controlling the lesbian dirty dancing at the Spring Dance. Honey, times have changed.
