Agreed. I homeschool my children so that they can read a lot more than children are expected to read in school. Personally, I'm glad my children also read better books than the books suggested in the submitted blog post.

Could you tell a bit more about homeschooling? Experience, advices? What's the hardest thing about it, for example?

You might be interested in the "unschooling" ideas of David Friedman (son of Milton Friedman):

The hardest thing about homeschooling for some families here in the United States is getting out of the two-income trap enough to have time to do it. My wife and I could have made more money for ourselves, thinking in the short term, by sending our children to the schools our taxes already pay for and working full-time (or overtime) when our children were younger. But I'm satisfied with the educational results of the trade-off we made.

Time management is more of an issue for some people than others. It is generally more of an issue for a homeschooling family as the number of children increases. Our oldest is about to go off to college, and thus our household size will begin going down for the first time in several years.

For us, the bottom line is that we are glad to have homeschooled, and are keeping it up for our younger children.

True, maybe one of the books should be 'how to be offended and get over it'. Since a lot of people (at least vocal people anyway) seem to think they have a right not to be offended as they travel through life.
