[extropy-chat] Homeschooling - change of topic

[MB]

Just because you homeschool doesn't mean you must *always* homeschool.
My brother and his wife homeschooled for a couple of years when
schools were bad, but when they moved to a new place the kids went to
school again. The homeschool years avoided some *serious*
behavior/discipline problems at the first school.

Didn't hurt the kids one bit, far as I can tell. One is an attorney,
one has a Masters in math, the third is currently sysadmin for the
engineering dept at his university...

Regards,
MB
