I considered K12 myself; it looks like a pretty cool program and from the description on the site not too hard-core. Good luck w/whatever you decide!

I have read your blogs from the days that it was only Noah (like 2001?), anyhow, I appreciate so much your discussion about homeschooling. I thought homeschooling was completely “odd” when you choose to homeschool Noah, but we have fallen into homeschooling our two now. I guess all the folks talking about homeschooling for all these years had been very helpful at sowing the seeds for us. Since Noah is a couple years older than my son, I am most interested in seeing how you proceed. I know some other unschoolers with kids the same age as Noah that also are looking to charter schools.

I too love the detailed stories. I am fascinated with the language learning and the way you describe Madison and Noah’s learning styles.

I started a personal blog to write about parenting stuff outside of the library at http://sandycovetrail.blogspot.com. Come on by!

Please keep us in the loop with regards to your cyber-charter research. I am curious about it, but overwhelmed and a little nervous. I’ve heard horror stories about them micro-managing . . .

Thanks for sharing your homeschooling details. We are considering this, but of course, a lot depends on what our kids’ needs turn out to be. I think I have a lot to think about on this issue — any good books/articles/sites you’d recommend?

I love the image of Madison drawing on the window, btw. What inspired the “knob” drawings?
