One of the most important aspect of schooling is let your children learn socializing. When children go to schools they learn a number of socializing qualities as they meet different types of children and they have to dealt with different types of situations everyday. Thus, schooling helps the kids get ready for work environment. I believe it is very important for children to attend schools in order to learn life skills and socializing skills.

I think home schooling is a bad idea although some times i think i should home school my kids but kids need to be with other kids. Home schooling will put them as out cast to the other children and it wouldn't be fare on the children.
Depanding on your education kids should stay in school they won't go anywhere these days if they don't get there school certificates.

Both websites will help; although I think the first one is better. I think the first thing you need to consider is whether you are the correct person to teach your child...are you too close both emotionally and physically...will your child become the independent / self sufficient responsible adult we all want our children to be. Or will they be a clone of you? There is an old saying that states; we won't screw up our kids the same way our parents screwed us up - we will find new ways of doing the same thing!
