re: #58 Spare O’Lake

i’ve seen it done, and well. lots of home schooled kids in my area belong to coops for the very reason you mention. there are some subjects where a parent is lacking. that’s where other parents step in with lesson plans and instruction for groups of kids at a time. local museums, science centers, and libraries have programs for home-schooled kids as well . it’s a lot of work that these parents do and it is unfortunately diminished by those whose children would better be classified as “unschooled” instead of home-schooled.
