That's so cool! :cool: I would love to play bagpipes...

Don't worry, HSM...

I would rather future leaders of this country be spared the faith stealing humiliation and scars of the public school system...even if they play the bagpipes!

No, really, homeschooling is the bomb...if only I could find a woman who agreed...I'd raise up twelve little apostles! :D

My niece is homeschooled and it has been SOOOOOO good for her! She actually has time for the important stuff...extracurricular activities.

She wants to go back to public school though. :( I hope mom says NO WAY!

Not to highjack the thread, but...

It's funny how the extra curriculars become so important for homeschoolers... They aren't "extra" for us... they're vital. Sports, clubs and classes round out our curriculum.

If there was a bagpipe class for 8 year olds, my daughter would be in it. (see how I got us back on topic?)

yeah, there's a lot of busywork (I used to be a teacher), but sometimes I wonder if I'm not giving my children enough busywork (ie skill practice)

But if they had bagpipe lessons, that would be cool... recorder lessons are about as close as we get...

Was that an elective class?
