What shall we say about homeschool?

I realize such headgear has fallen out of style in our self-esteem-obsessed culture, but maybe I should belatedly don a dunce cap.

You see, one of my first columns (nearly 25 years ago) was a snarky dismissal of the nascent homeschooling movement.

I know at least two nice families who are homeschooling this year, so I wish to offer my apologies.
