Congratulations! Sounds like your grandson has his head screwed on straight. As far as home schooled being better than public schools, that seems like comparing apples to oranges. Both have benefits and drawbacks, but the biggest factor is the kid. That's right, the kid who excells in a public/social environment may fail in a home school environment and vice versa. I think the smaller classroom is more conductive to learning, but the larger social atmosphere may be more helpful later in life. Once again it depends on the child, and I have been around both kinds all my life. My oldest boy has autism. We send him to a public school that I went to but is rapidly losing students since the rural population is still in a decline around here. He is in a class with 6 girls and no boys. The other children do a wonderful job of looking out for him and helping him. The issue in a larger school would probably be that lack of companionship and him getting teased a lot more(it pains me, but I expect him to get some teasing since kids can be that way, I just don't have to like it) Mom taught in this same school for over 20 years and the main change she hated was the No Child Left Behind Act. Her observation was that now the kids were taught to the test, not the general knowledge that they used to get. On the flip side Grandpa who taught school in a 1 room schoolhouse 80 years ago thought that was a better system than the one we have now.
