Recently, in the September issue of the widely distributed magazine Outside there was a lengthy article about a family that educates their children at home. The title to the article is We Don't Need No Education and the father, Ben Hewitt, writes the article. His family has embraced "unschooling" and so he explains what that is exactly and what they do with their two boys. He is, unfortunately, a secular humanist but that doesn't take anything away from the reality that the article is well written and worth ones time to read (if you value such a practice). And while I do not subscribe to his method of discipleship, and wish he was a brother in the Messiah, I do raise my mug to him and say "Carry on father Hewitt!". That's because he understands what's happening to our children better than most Christians do.
Give it a read and be encouraged that the Nanny State is going to have it's hands full trying to take our children (or grandchildren) away.
