Home-Schooling and "Open Source" Materials?

Deagol asks: "After we registered our daughter for second grade yesterday at public school, I began to ponder (yet again) the question of homeschooling. There's certainly not a lack of sites out there about the topic, but I was surprised at the lack of public domain materials out there. I would think there'd more collections of public domain 'courses' since the K-12 core knowledge base is so stable and well understood. Sure, there are tons of places that will sell you kits of course materials, and quite a few home-schoolers who made their own courses (but only offer them for a fee). I assume there's more than a few homeschoolers out there on Slashdot. Are there any good sources of free home-schooling materials (including software) out there?"

Ooh boy. A spelling bee! Back when I was in school (almost entirely in highly selective schools) spelling bees were the turf of the poorly socialized shallow thinkers who thought that rote memorization was the same as analysis.
Mmmm-mm. Yep, that's the kind of skills students need these days.
Thanks for so effectively making the case that home schooling has socialization problems. Oh, I forgot. you don't need to actually think. You leave that up to Jeebus.
