[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello, I am from Europe, although have lived here for a long time. Please explain to me why a young family living in a great neighborhood in NW DC would home school their two young boys. I really don't get the concept. Does the mother really think she can provide the same learning environment as a school could? Also how long can you home school your kids and how does that effect high school, college etc? I would like to understand this, since at this point I just find it weird and really isolating for a child. Thanks! [/quote] It puzzles me too op and I am also not from this country originally. Aside the social experience (I won't touch that) it just amazes me how some people can pull or attempt to pull this off (and some do it successfully). So, there are parents out there that are great in all subjects - math, geometry, physics, chemistry, history, geography, english, foreign language, arts, music, etc. These people must be very driven. I could never do it.[/quote]
