The government should absolutely butt out. I was homeschooled 4th-12th grades, and I turned out more or less OK. Well, that's debatable, but I doubt a regular school would have helped much!
TulsaSaint. My kid is only one year old, but in the coming years, we're going to have to figure out what to do as far as schooling for him. We'd like to be able to bounce back and forth between the US and Brazil, but their school systems are vastly different. Do you think homeschooling is an option for some years or for grade placement purposes?
