I heard the end of a panel discussion on the ABC two nights ago. It seemed pretty good. A pro-con chat with talkback, relevant to the Australian context. I was home schooled, but I'm not great at summing up a pithy answer when people ask me what it was like and would I home school my hypothetical kids. If you wonder about home schooling, you can listen.

If that link didn't work it's here. http://www.abc.net.au/nightlife/podcast.htm
Also an article George found recently, http://www.salon.com/2013/08/26/school_is_a_prison_and_damaging_our_kids/, which seems to be in favour of self-directed learning.
Horses for courses. Whatever that means.
