The first critical question that
should precede any discussion of Home Schooling is:
who cares more about your child than you ???
[you MUST answer this question to honestly consider this
issue]
On my way to the first large Promise Keepers of 50,000 men at Folsum Stadium in Boulder CO I drove with about 6 other guys. I think 4 of them Home Schooled and being that it took maybe 20 hours to drive from Chicago to Boulder we had a lot of time to talk about it. I had heard of it before and was interested in it so I asked many questions about it. I wanted to know their experience with it and I wanted to know real factual information that was more than mere opinion.
Here's some information I've gathered that is mainly factual and statistical
data on Home Schooling. From what I've seen of opposing information it's
mainly peoples opinions about things they've heard.
