We're unschooling our kids. For info about this option, check books by
John Holt, unschooling.com, etc. If you really want a packaged curriculum there are a couple of homeschooling groups in the misc.*hierarchy, one is generic (misc.education.home-school. misc) and the other is Christian (misc.education.home-school.Christian). You'll get lots of feedback on the Christian one. |

However, the U of Nebraska might make the parents teach "evolution" *gasp* and "human sexuality" *double gasp* and prolly doesn't include in its curriculum "how to beat them ******s" and "homos are the devil." Though, being that it's the U of Nebraska, I take that back! |
