[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have to be bright and/or a previously good student to be a good HS provider? Honestly curious.[/quote].

Short answer:  no.

Our homeschool group currently has over 80 families.  They come from every rung on the economic scale.  Some parents are high school dropouts, some are professionals.  What they all have in common is they love their kids and are seriously dedicated to giving them the best education possible.

Except for the youngest grades, homeschooling parents are often more facilitators than instructors.  The curriculum choices are so vast and so excellent that most students teach themselves.  And when they can't teach themselves, their parents find something that works.  Online courses, correspondence courses, apprenticeships, co-ops, swaps with other parents, seminars, older kids teaching younger kids, maybe taking one class at a local school...there is always an answer out there.

I know it sounds Pollyanna-ish, but if parents are devoted enough to their children's education that they homeschool, they will do what needs to be done to make it work.  You don't need to be omniscient to help your kids learn--you just might need to think outside the box sometimes.[/quote]
