Karen, KT & Elizabeth --
Funny you three mention that about homeschoolers' participation. It's also what, I think, drives some extracurricular teachers nuts when they have to interact with homeschoolers - that the HS kids think they are an important and relevant part of what is happening, and not just there to be taught upon.
Some folks seem to love the "peopleness" of many homeschoolers, while others appear to truly resent it.
Cheers, Maia

KT -- I totally agree about homeschoolers. Both of our library's book discussion groups for kids, our Banned Books Club and our Comix Jam, include a large proportion of homeschoolers. And you're right, they jump right into the discussion and don't feel shy about it, which is wonderful.
