People always want to put other people in a category. With homeschooling (and most other things) I don't fit any of the categories, especially because my kids' learning styles and abilities are so different. The way I homeschooled my super gifted eldest son was completely different than the way I homeschool my youngest son who has Down Syndrome. There is basically zero commonality between the 2. Good homeschooling isn't about a following a particular homeschooling style. It is about customizing schooling to align with each kid's learning style, strengths, weaknesses, and interests. That is a big part of why homeschooling works so well. Even if the parents aren't trained teachers and even if the parents weren't particularly good in school, this customization (and caring) educates better than the best teacher teaching in a style that is wrong for the particular student.
