My stepsister, quite possibly the stupidest person I've ever met, is homeschooling her four children. Well, two of her children are adults now, and two are still at home being homeschooled. I always wondered how you teach your children something like how to multiply fractions when you don't know how to do it yourself.
Her two oldest daughters didn't go to college of course -- one got married, with parental approval, one month after high school "graduation." She was 18. Other daughter had a child while a teenager as well and is on her second marriage at 21 or so. They are both planning to homeschool their kids. Stepsister's younger daughter and son are still too young for college, but I'm guessing if it is in the cards at all it will only be for the boy.
And yes, it's a religion thing. Some non-denoniminational thing. My stepsister's DH has gone around saying he's the prophet of armageddon. So nuts it should be funny, but scary enough that it isn't.
