We had homeschooled our daughters since 2nd grade when my wife started her own cake-decorating business, and we took them out. Now, my oldest is a junior in college with a writing degree and on the President's list and has been writing her own novel(s) for about the last seven or more years. If anything, I love how much more time you actually spend with them instead of sending them off every day most of the day. School truly is a horrible system, IMHO. Many people have clearly proven that homeschooled children are certainly not at any disadvantage or any such nonsense.
