Last week I was able to talk to a fellow missionary mom who said that her husband was not too keen on homeschooling because he wanted his son to learn leadership skills, and how would he do that if he didn't have any classmates to lead? I told her that maybe he (and she) could read up more on all the online resources that actually support the "cause" of homeschooling especially those that feature great people in history who were actually homeschooled, like those listed below:

I also found this inspiring article that further cements the case for homeschoolers and trying hard homeschoolers like our family. :)
Here's to homeschooling - the BEST education you can give your child! :)
