I'm glad to see this thread. I was thinking about starting one also.
I have 3 DDs, 17, 14 and 11 and we have been homeschooling the whole time (about 13 years.)
We don't use a curriculum (except for math.) We make everything else up as we go along.
I really like being able to tailor learning to each individual kid.
My oldest is attending community college and will transfer to U of A in the Fall of '11. My 14 year old is taking her first cc class this Fall.
I remember having all the newbie questions when we started. My advice to those who are considering homeschooling is to drop the fear, follow your heart, and the rest will fall into place.
