Yes, if you aren't properly trained to educate the material and/or don't have the skills to effectively and efficiently impart knowledge to others (different than parenting). [/quote]

+1. If you have a college degree in education, cool. If not, send your kids to learn from someone who does (barring any special needs that require home education).[/quote]

This. There are two families in our neighborhood who do homeschool (not together). One of the kids is ALWAYS outside unsupervised, running around the neighborhood or down by the neighborhood pool, poking around in the parking lot. He's in fifth grade and these do not appear to be educational outdoor excursions. I think the mom is busy with her younger kids and is more "unschooling" him than anything else. If I had to guess, he's not learning much. The other family has older kids who are mostly done with homeschool and went to college at places like Liberty Online. The youngest daughter just turned 19 and is a really sweet girl. She went to NOVA for a semester last Fall and her mom told a bunch of the neighbors that she couldn't keep up and had to drop out a month into the first semester. I don't think the parents did those poor kids any favors. [/quote]
