Some of the best years of my life. It is important to find groups that you kids can participate in and be social. My brother and I kept eachother company, but we also had boy scouts, a local group of homeschoolers that got together 3 days a week for PE (2 days) and group classes on Fridays, swim team, and the like. Homeschooling was a much more efficient way to learn, even more efficient than high school, but there are other things to be considered when you get to that level. If there is anything else I can help with from my perspective just let me know. Even email if you like mslarsen@wisc.edu. Take care, Mike
