re: For those who homeschool...

Thanks. As you probably know, it's not easy being a pioneer, and homeschoolers don't get a lot of support. I certainly had my biases before I met her. I still think a lot of people get into it for the wrong reasons and/or are in over their heads, but in the right circumstances, it can work, and work very well. You are starting to see more and more kids who were homeschooled be successful in highly competitive work and academic environments.

We (I am not directly involved, but she does frequently ask my advice) have some questions about how to handle the higher level maths, chemistry, physics, etc. That may be where she integrates online courses, or she may hire a tutor.
