We educated our 3 boys at home. The idea isn’t much different than the one room school when you think about it. We had books, computers, plenty of time to study without disruption, and an orderly day. Where it differed was that our property tax money still went to the district– we got next to nothing in return, including a $230,000 salary. But, by having our thousands of dollars go to the district we were, essentially, left alone to do the best for our kids. But we did get three exceptionally smart and prepared boys. Not everyone can do what we did and the second best thing would be a one-room school house.
