	We plan on keeping our seven year-old son home from school
beginning in September.  Although he attended kindergarten and 1st grade
in public school, we felt that the influences of the public school
environment were not to our liking.  And besides, my wife feels that
she can do a better job than an average public school teacher.

	I would be interested in hearing from others who are home-
schooling their children or are considering doing so.  What are the
benefits and problems that you have encountered?  What is the position
of your local school district on home-schooling?  Of the state that
you live in?  Here in Pennsylvania, the law require school attendence
after age eight.  Depending on the school district parents may or may
not be forced to send their children to school after that age.
