I would like to say that I personally have no problem with homeschooling if it is done right.  I am personally an advocate for public schools.  I myself am a public high school teacher.  I have to, however, express some concern that you are homeschooling your children after I read the message you posted.  I would like to suggest that you try together with another homeschool teacher who also homeschools their children to attempt to give your child(ren) a better opportunity to learn basic English grammar, mechanics and syntax.    I cannot tell you how many homeschooled childrem I have gotten in my classes that have learned such improper English in homeschool.  These unfortunate students have a much harder time catching up to the rest of the class and sometimes never fully develop their English skills (as far as writing and, at times, spoken grammer is concerned)  I feel as if there is a reason that teachers are required to attain (at minimum) a bachelor's degree to teach in this country.  If your children had been in public school and you found out that there was a teacher who had never gone to college but that was allowed to teach 5 (sometimes 6) classes a day, you would be appalled.  Please consider giving your children a fair opportunity to learn in areas that you yourself are not proficient in.
