You can use this as a reading, math and geography lesson also. Read up on the area they will be fishing at, measurements and weights for catching the big one, miles and gas on what it takes to get there and topography of the land. Oh throw in science too. You can dissect a little one.

fluid mechanics...
 
Many states will provide the curriculum and you then report back periodically. It's good for people who don't have a teaching credential but want to homeschool without a religious spin. There are even homeschool groups you can join so the kids get socialization, too.

After today homeschooling looks very attractive
 
As someone who did distance education which is very similar to homeschooling, I can tell you that it only works if you know how to teach.
I was lucky, as my Mum knew how from her first job as a teacher.
But I met many kids who struggled to keep up because their parents didn't have a clue as to how to teach them.
 
18 years of formal education and 56 years of life experience looks pretty good on the resume...

And it counts for nothing if you cannot impart your knowledge by teaching effectively.
There is actually some skill involved in teaching.

I imagine there are many parents out there tempted to consider home schooling.

I home school my daughter and it works out wonderfully for us. :)
