Spay,
I believe that homeschooling is really the defining experience here.
There are literally thousands of children in our city who are homeschooled. I meet them everyday when we are out. Every one that I have met is lovely, smart, confident, sure of himself/herself, sociable, considerate, empathetic and on a path, which they have seemingly independently, (if they are older) chosen themselves of responsible participation in our community. Their educations are both secular and religious. It has been such a learning experience for me and such a joy to meet many of their parents. And. . . much has changed as of late. We have opted to homeschool our daughter for now for these and several other reasons.

You know I really love this. This is exactly what my parents urged my sister and me to do (about everything) and what I will urge my own children to do. Never stop learning and asking questions, especially the hard ones.
Thanks for sharing your views with me.
