There are some other good posts up. One that caught my eye was Our Entrepreneurial Homeschooler, by Barbara Frank. It caught my eye because I've previously mused about how to impart the entrepreneurial spirit to our children, given that this spirit wasn't much in evidence in my own home when I was growing up.

I also note the use of real books in the way economics is taught in their household, even though Barbara does say

But I have to think that the things she’s learning right now by setting up her little business are at least as valuable, if not more so, than what she’s learning from Dr. Sowell’s book.
