or philosophical belief?

I am home-schooled, and my religion is Agnostic (everyone in my family is, except my brother, who is an Atheist). Funnily enough, we have all ended up with great social skills, and are never shy around anyone, no matter what their age or sex. We talk about everything, and we are all very open minded and politically aware (and opinionated, lol). Although there were these kids I knew who were home-schooled that went to my ballet class - total psychos! Wouldn't talk to anyone! I guess I just had great parenting.

We home-school, and plan to except every third year.
I experience God directly when I was seventeen. I'll share that experience with my daughter, and explain that that is NOT proof for her. It was MY experience, and she does not owe me to believe me.
I will show here all the religions of the world, we will go to mosques, temples, churches, Free-thought society meetings, etc. She will not join anything until she is eighteen, when we will respectfully and lovingly accept her choice or lack of choice. She can explore any of them until she is no longer a minor.
We will read philosophy from around the world, compare world religion, and even delve into the occult and myth, modern polytheism and pantheism.
It was my upbringing. I read those texts. She'll do it even earlier (she's reading hesitantly at age 18 months).
I love the United States.

My daughter is homeschooling my grandson.. She has a Christian based curriculum..
Now, let me explain this: She is not keeping him a bubble (hes in Kdgn) and as time goes along she is teaching him what IS out in the world, choices people make (to believe in God or not). The curriculum does not teach evolution of humans but she said he will know some people believe don't believe in Creation..
He is very active with his kids group at church and also the Homeschooling Christian Association where the parents/kids get together each week for outings, etc.
Yes, I am all for homeschooling as long as the kids know what is out there!

I am an atheist. As to homeschooling, my only concern is that homeschooled children, at the very least, consistently meet or exceed national standards As long as that goal is met, then, of course, parents should be allowed to educate their children at home.

I'm home schooled and I'm Christian. About 80% of homeschoolers are Christian. I've never met a Non-Christian homeschooler, because the reason that they homeschooled is because the parants don't want their child being tought to believe Evolution.

I don't believe in home schooling. The kids don't seem to learn as much, they need interaction with other kids and responsibility to show up each day whether they feel like it or not.

My brother homeschools his children and they are screwed up! They are not learning how to socialize in a normal way.
