There was a thread I can't find that had some good resources for home schooling. If anyone can lead me to the thread I want to get 2 more kids homeschooling.

the most important thing about homeschooling is to resist all involvement of any government entity. No testing, not lesson plans, no tax rebates or voucher. We do not want any avenue for someone outside the family to dictate what or how we educate. We are homeschooling four, the older two are taking college courses online, clepping for college credit after studying a subject. We do our plan for our kids, I want you to have the freedom to do your plan for your children.
Remember how much repetition was in government school? Most children could pick up info and pass todays standardized tests in two months. If you are blessed with a child that is stronger in other areas, then that is exactly why homeschooling is best. They are each unique, given to the best parents for them. If they can look you in the eye, shake your hand, carry on a conversation, show up clean and on time, they are 90% to be being a productive person. They have you as parent by design, you have your circle of friends by design, all the resources you need to mentor and direct them are either already in your possession or attainable.
This is incredibly important and deserves to be highlighted. Never forget this.
