My friends are rubbing off on me...

It seems like I have a lot of friends who homeschool. It's really only 3 families, but in my social circle, that's a lot. I admire them, and although I have always thought that I don't have enough patience to homeschool, the idea has been growing on me.

I have been looking at some materials, particularly one called Accelerated Achievement and as a resource it looks very interesting. I'm thinking of not homeschooling per se, but starting by supplementing what my kids learn at school to keep them on an accelerated path.I think that the schools here are all right, but I don't think they challenge the kids to really do their best.I want my kids to be able to excel, but more than that, I want them to love learning and have fun doing it!

We will see how it goes. In the meantime, I put the suggestion in last night at the school orientation, that I would like to see curriculum for the classes like those we used to get in college so that I could have an overview of what material the kids will be covering and when...
