I was wondering if you or your wife or your readers could steer me and my wife Mary Beth to some resource for discerning among homeschooling curricula. We haven\u2019t homeschooled before, our fourth child is due in September, and my wife is very jittery about committing to this and feeling very overwhelmed. She\u2019s afraid she might not be able to keep up with the prep work. We\u2019d be schooling three kids between 11 and 7. Do you know of some repository for comparative knowledge and opinions about the curricula, like reviews etc.? Could you hook us up with some wise person who can give us advice?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019d point you to Maureen Wittman<\/a>. Readers may have other resources they\u2019d like to add.<\/p>\n
