I was homeschooled too and I loved it, and I want to homeschool my kid too but it depends on if we both need to be working or not. I absolutely agree on setting your kids up to succeed. I wish my parents had pushed me more but I also don't want to put too much pressure on my kid. I guess personality has a lot to do with it. I got good grades because I liked making my dad proud. My sister rebelled when they were too strict. I guess I'll have to feel out what he responds to the best.
