An educational experience

Do we think that school is crucial? Does school play an important part in our childrens development? My answers to these questions is yes. However I wish it could be in a different way and not so regimented from the beginning. I worry that when Isabella returns we will all find it too difficult to adapt back into the system. I don't want her to miss out on the school choirs though or school teams. So I shall tell you my answer: In America there is actually a homeschool choir, football team, theatre group. I wish these existed in England. This would be the perfect mix. How can we start this? Would anyone be interested? Is the idea too American? Maybe we could create a building purely for home schoolers, as if it were a school with all the benefits of a school and we joined it like a gym to pay for it. We could have certain lessons that we could participate in if we wanted to. I suppose it would be more like a university of life for children(with parents if they wanted to join in.) The more I think about it, the more I am loving this idea.
