Tell more about the unschool. I want to teach at home. My husband has concerns about it such as what if we don't know a subject. I think that's what homeschool curriculum fairs are for and some well chosen computer lessons. Kids in public schools are far too social and less academic these days.

I agree with both Violet and Smellycat here.
Some private and homeschools do not have the same curriculim(sp?), arts, music, PE (?) sports, computer, INTERACTION WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD.

As "Christian" parents we will have to work harder to teach biblical truths to our kids and grandkids and find other outlets of fun, clubs, camps, etc... for them.

Unfortunatly, the masses can't all be homeschooled or privately tutered. Money is a big issue for the lower income. Also, parents that both work, or have drug issues, or other issues or who are never home...I digress....

My youngest just graduated high school. If I had to do it all over again, I would home it of go private. School is very scary and dangerous now. Good teaches no longer have any rights to defend themselves, and the bad ones keep getting in without having background checks done..tsk tsk.

i learned a lot at public school.who the bad guys are,who does things for money,who bullies people for there own gain,the clever people who try to manipulate people.it was a perfect world envirament ,thats why i look at motives.also i can think like a snake but be harmless as a dove.mark my words the world is anti jesus,in nearly every way.and he tells you if your not with me,your actually against me.i take this as a spirit issue,make your yes mean yes and your no mean no.anything else comes from the evil one.

We homeschooled my oldest daughter until she was in the 9th grade- she was then admited to a private chirstian school with the highest entry scores ever posted there and went on to graduate in the 11th grade doing second year colledge courses. My boys were homeschooled for only a few years as we had real financial constraints- each one of those years was great although I must warn some folks here that homeschooling a teenager can be a trial!
