Perhaps it's different over there. Here we're pretty much an eclectic mix of individuals, often from different cultures.
It was just a thought, anyway, seeing as everyone seemed focussed on the academic aspects of homeschooling. It just seems to me to be a far healthier learning environment; instead of seeing the same faces day in day out, the child, although most likely preferring to group with a chosen 'clique' of schoolfriends, will still be mixing with the wider society as they progress through the school.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
