I think homeschool co-ops, run by other moms, has its inherent limitations -- to the point we primarily participate for social reasons with no expectation that my children actually receive any real education there.
This is extremely interesting to me. I've always assumed that homeschooling co-ops and classes would be Totally Cool. After all, you hear all those stories about how homeschoolers are such awesome learners who college professors end up loving. But we've been to a couple of homeschool co-op classes lately, as an afterschooling kind of thing, and I've been . . . underwhelmed.
Maybe I've developed skewed expectations by reading too many blogs by parents homeschooling pglets.
