Let's be honest, nobody knows the best way to raise their children. It is entirely possible that someday his daughter will participate in similar discussion whether it is worth homeschooling kids and will say that she'd been home schooled and turned out very successful. However, while reading the post, I felt annoyed with the author's attitude toward public education and especially the spiteful comment about history. Partially perhaps because I liked history lessons at school and still do like the subject and partially because I think that a person must have a well-rounded education. Also, I believe that that it doesn't make such a huge difference when one starts programming and maybe pushing the child towards it too early might do more harm than good. I have discovered programming completely by myself in the last school year when I was 17 or 18. Many guys who studied together at university had started programming several years earlier and they definitely knew more at the time, however the differences mostly disappeared in a couple years. And those who still were better, they either were much smarter or worked harder and the coding experience or lack thereof that everybody brought from teenage years didn't really matter that much.
