wow! write a post about this 4 kids and the college experience @shivvi! i am also surrounded by all this example of people that homeschool their children. where i live here, the majority of kids are home educated, only a few of them go to normal schools. in deed they all seem to be all right, but somehow, my well educated mind in the system tells me that we still need to fix in some patterns for basic reading and writing at least... maybe i am too brainwashed by the system to see the alternative way of total freedom :) but still, some boundaries i find good! not that it is a good or bad thing, just different perspectives.
