Homeschooler's Guide to the Galaxy

Homeschooling isn't a new idea.
.. not long ago, most children were
educated at home by their parents.  But modern-day homeschooling is
definitely a "new and improved" version of a home education.  Hundreds
of books have been written about home-based education.  There are
thousands of commercial products available to make homeschooling
easier and more interesting.  Well-equipped public libraries and the
general availability of the Internet combine to provide seemingly
unlimited educational options and resources.  Communities, colleges,
museums, and local businesses have begun catering to the homeschool
population, providing wonderful opportunities to families and groups of
homeschoolers.  

Having a lot of options, however, doesn't help you decide what to do.  It
is very easy to become overwhelmed by the options and confused by the
choices.  But please...

                                      Don't Panic

Just remember, Rome wasn't built in a day... and not many
homeschoolers have everything all in order when they first start out.
