RE: how do you now or plan on schooling?
We homeschool and will continue to as long as it still works. I went thru public schools and got to college with huge gaps in my education. I'm working hard to make sure that my girls don't have the same gaps.
Homeschooling is recognized in ALL states as "real" school: transcrips, diploma and all.
I think the whole fear that 'homeschool kids aren't socialized' is a bit of a crock. It's not like we sit at home 8 hours out of every day, just talking to each other. My girls are not just spending time with kids who are within a year of themselves in age. We have playdates with kids both older and younger than my girls and kids of all ages can get along great. We also go out and talk to people who are older than the girls: they are not afraid to talk to grownups. I would consider them BETTER socialized than kids that only spend time with their immediate peers, personally.

The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions at state expense.
