Home education is just going to gain more and more traction in the coming years.

Amy Welborn:

That's really not such a brilliant insight. The growth is already there, and constant - except when it pops up a bit.

And why is this?

Two reasons.

Parents and children are getting more and more frustrated with institutional schooling, both public and private.

Secondly, homeschooling is getting easier.

(A little easier. It's always a challenge, but the Internet has transformed it, making it so much easier to connect with information, classes and other people)

I hesitate to even begin a post like this because the minute I do, my head explodes with a million ideas, concerns and stories, and I end up sitting here for three hours, just meandering.

I'm going to try to not wander down that road, and offer instead smaller bits and pieces.

I've talked before about why we're here, doing this. That post is here.
