Ask Slashdot: Good Homeschool Curriculum For CS??

dingo_kinznerhook writes "I grew up in a homeschooling family, and was homeschooled through high school. ( I went on to get a B.S. and M.S. in computer science; my mom has programming experience and holds bachelor's degrees in physics and math — she's pretty qualified to teach.) Mom is still homeschooling my younger brother and sister and is looking for a good computer science curriculum that covers word processing, spreadsheets, databases, intro to programming, intro to operating systems, etc. Does the Slashdot readership know of a high school computer science curriculum suitable for homeschooling that covers these topics?"

70% of homeschooled children are in very religious families. Assuming that a homeschooler is republican isn't absurd.

I don't know, writing a good word processor would certainly require a good knowledge of Computer Science. In fact, it seems to be so hard that nobody has managed to do it well so far.
