[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It may because the local school is not highly rated and they don't want their kids hang out with wrong crowds. Or it may be those parents enjoy being with children and teaching them.[/quote]

My brother's family lives in a neighborhood where some of the schools, including the high school, have been taken over by the state. Their parish catholic school closed and merged with another, and they were unhappy with the culture of the bigger school.

They homeschool all their kids.

My SIL is not very...academic...but she knows her limitations. She uses a set curriculum for her little ones. The older ones (around middle school) use an accredited online curriculum, combined with a weekly co-op for some of the classes. The co-op they chose have mostly highly educated parents teaching the classes (engineers, college professors, etc) with fluff courses taught by hobby moms (art classes, music appreciation, that kind of thing).

They are behind where my fcps kids are in school but leaps and bounds ahead of the kids in their local zoned public school.[/quote]
