To be fair, it sounds like the success of this program is strongly rooted in the knowledge, wisdom and judgement of the individual running it. As a homeschooling parent, I de facto ran a private school under California law for some years. I think we listed my husband as the Administrator and me as the teacher, but I did almost everything. He played a really minor role. A student can do a lot with a modicum of the right guidance. That "right guidance" can be hard to come by. Many adults aren't really equipped to supply that piece. Edit: By success, I mean the stuff on this page: http://www2.cruzio.com/~beachhi/students.html http://www2.cruzio.com/~beachhi/students.html
