If I did home school the kids, I would be able to purchase Microsoft Office 2007 for a great price through Cost Captain. All I would have to do is provide my academic eligibility to their fast and friendly customer service people, and then I could get Microsoft Office 2007 from $99 and Vista Upgrade from $89. Regular schools and libraries can also take advantage of this pricing.
My friend home schools her kids, so I really need to pass this information on to her. If you know a home schooling mom, or if you are one yourself, check out www.costcaptain.com, and take advantage of these amazing prices.

Homeschooling is a huge issue in my area, also, and having homeschooled my daughter for 6th and 7th grade, I can also say that it is a huge responsibility! She is a special needs student, so I wanted to give her a couple years of schooling at home to get her ready for 8th grade. She did well and is now in 12th grade.
Schooling at home has pros and cons, but overall, if you have a decent school system, try working things out at school before you take the drastic step of pulling them out.
Just my 2 cents worth! :):)
I have homeschooled my older son for over 8 years now. He's a senior in high school now...sniff...sniff. My younger son is in regular public school. Nick had issues, we had issues with the school and basically this is what we needed to do for him. We put him back in for one year (9th grade) and he was suicidal and we had to get him counseling - it wasn't a good year. Having said that, I think the Microsoft offer is pretty impressive. I may have to pass that information on to my homeschool group!
The problems that kids have to deal with in schools these days break my heart. As a nervous mom I would love to home school but my kids refuse. Each time they come home complaining of problems I remind them that I am willing to home school them. They then decide their problem is not as big as they thought. Funny how that always happens.
I'm one of 'those' moms who homeschools her kids. ;0)
As someone said above me it has it's pros & cons, just like everything else in life.
I home school. I love it.
You can download Open Office for FREE. Not sure the address right now, but a Google search will easily find it.
With Open Office, you can do most anything that Microsoft Office will do. You can open ANY Office documents. You can even send documents to others by simply saving as a rich text format.
