We homeschool because our daughter does very well with it but if we could afford a good private school (I've been to bad ones), we would probably consider it.

I once hired a private tutor to help me fill in some gaps (see lame private school comment above!) After I had caught up (in a couple of months), we spent about 95% of the time learning random things rather than anything I was doing in univ (he hated computer science - not a real science he said!) I think he enjoyed our sessions as much as I did. From time to time, he helped me on hard problems I would do outside of the university curriculum but by and large we were just learning. This is the way we run our homeschooling. Just learning.

Ah brings back memories. He used to complain about all the other students and how they never do their work!
