My younger brother and his wife home schooled their 3 children, all of which are grown and married now. It was amazing the network of home schooling people they had and how they pooled their resources and talents. They did go to a church that had a lot of home schooling families in it, so that didn't hurt. One of their cars was a brown station wagon they called the home school bus. :) Many a trip for play dates and field trips were made in that thing, packed full of happy children.
