POPS"No right to educate your own child?" If I had it to do over again, I would definitely homeschool. However, the resources were not so readily available as they are now.

When save the planet, global warming, recycling, etc...is what I hear when they walk home with me...well, forget it! They are so smart and eager to learn. Reading, writing and arithmetic...add a little musical training, science, compute introduction, etc... But they can't keep it to the basic.
