Not knocking Christians. Have called many a freind. My only statement was to make clear that well, I am not going to subject my kids to the Publik Skools (mispelling deliberate).

Now, as for the "Well Trained Mind" read it and found it to be a very good book. It will definately be used by this (hopefully) future parent.

I am more worried with this Michael character...he seems to be anti-religious in general and just not a very tolerant fellow. I admit I am a bit secular (Haven't been to temple since my wedding.) I think sadly, the last "acceptable" discrimination is against religious folks of any stripe. I may not be as religous as perhaps I should be, but I know there is a god, and one day, I will meet him, and he and I will chat. Dunno what will be said, but I think it will be interesting.

My parents started homeschooling strictly for educational reasons (the public school was a joke). The religions/moral/family-bonding benefits were a nice side effect.
