Awesome! One of the reasons we prefer homeschooling is that it allows us to take full advantage of the seasonal recreational opportunities. Homeschooling also provides freedom from all of the political indoctrinations that are part of public school education. (Hunting = Bad; Fishing = Bad; Guns = Bad; Oil = Bad; Sex = good; Government = good; etc.)

Finally, homeschooling allows us to work fishing into a lot of the math and science curriculum. My son took 1st place yesterday at the Louisiana State science fair with a fish-based project.
