The socialising argument always made me laugh. Maybe there's an imagine that you shut your children in the house and never let them out, if you home school.

There's always that second guessing of yourself as well, isn't there? It probably doesn't help that "standards" have been created by the schooling system that should be met by certain ages. Yet most of the schooling system fails to meet those standards while as homeschooling parents we feel we are failing if we don't meet them. Like you, I have found tests useful to see what areas to work on, however.

My eldest has just started uni. She's very academically inclined, so she's enjoying the challenge. My youngest is more hands on, a right brain learner as I'm just finding out.
