Please allow me to clarify - I was referencing the fact that we have some homeschoolers who are working on college credits. Number one - I admire them for getting a head start on their college work - number two, I do believe there is social gain in the college experience for young people - particularly if they can find a safe environment where they can meet other people who share their values. Like I said, my son is in a wonderful college setting, where he is building relationships with other like-minded young people as well as some terrific professors who choose to invest in him. I realize that is not everyone's college experience and it was something we looked for when he was selecting his college. Btw, we are not rich people by any means and the only way he is able to be there is through scholarships, grants and loans.

As far as grade school and high school, I believe that is a highly personal parenting decision. My youngest son in fact was homeschooled (by me) for a couple of years when he went through an extremely difficult time in his life (during middle school). He is now doing well and it was his own desire to go back into a public high school. I am sorry my comments were not clearly expressed.
