Well, I've been the lone defender of homeschooling in a blog conversation since yesterday and I think it's time to bring in reinforcements...

Now, initially I was being accused of being a religious wacko for having found an internet resource for children relating to homeschooling. But the conversation has turned largely to focus on just homeschooling itself.
If you can join the conversation (without confirming their worst accusations) please come on over and add your two cents... particularly if you have at least one college degree or if your children are currently in post secondary school.
Just hit the link after my name.
:^D
Thanks!!
