Going to take more than just posting links to convince!
Mr York, it's going to take more than just posting links to convince proponents! Including one of the Sharper Iron administrators who effectively home schools!

Since my family homeschools (but we are actually looking to transition to another local option next fall if we can), we'd have some first hand observations.
