| It would depend on my kid. My first choice would be public school, but if my child didn't belong there, I'd go for homeschooling.
If my kid were like Heather (too smart and imaginative for classroom environment) I'd let them do whatever the heck they wanted, and constantly challenge them to learn new and different things on their own -- like if they wanted to go to a concert or something, they'd have to write a persuasive essay and beat me in a game of Trivial Pursuit. I don't know if that's the homeschool model (I assume not), but if it isn't I'd break the rules.
