History of Homeschooling

All of the below info was found at the above site. I must say that I disagree with some of the "Comparison" section.

We do not have fewer resources that public school...if a parent takes the time to look, there is an abundance of resources out there, and many that as a small school of 2 students are welcomed into for a field trip when a large classroom would not be allowed into. And obviously, you are going to get out of homeschooling what you put into it. In our 11+ years of homeschooling, we have found that we use at least as much if not more resources than our public schools do. So many "school" programs - like Scholastic and Pizza Hut Book-It - are now open to and welcome homeschoolers.

Nor do I agree with a poorer curriculum. We actually use many of the same curriculum the public schools are using. And more. We incorporate 4-H material, Bible study, and many "extra" subjects the public schools don't offer. If our children are interested in a subject, we take the time to study about it.
