I'm the only person in my (large) family to go to university. In fact I went "all the way" and have a PhD. There's no way I could have been home schooled by my parents, they simply don't have a deep enough understanding of things beyond maybe age 10 for me. But, interestingly, it was my dad who taught me HTML, not school, and that's what I've ended up doing as a career. My dad never took HTML, or programming in general, that far, but it certainly set me on my way.
In a way this is a return to older times when children would learn the trades of their parents. I think that's great, but I do wonder how kids will acquire the broader education. Knowing how to program is really only a small part of what makes me valuable.
