Homeschool

Home school or homeschool.  One word or two words?  Might want to figure that one out before we seriously discuss this...

L has it in his head that we are going to buy some land in Madison county, build a small, sustainably designed, modern farmhouse and that I will homeschool P.

The dream continues...  He will commute to work in a Prius, but we will keep my car and also buy an old truck (always wanted one).  No farm.  A manageable garden.  
Not a lot of acreage, but 10+.  Wooded.  Body of water: not a deal breaker.

I get to design the house (of course), but we might get a divorce over the details.  
That might ruin these big plans of his.

This is such a dream of his right now, but he is insisting I get on board.  I'm already sketching the house, but it's the homeschooling snag that keeps bringing me down to earth (aside from the "how in the hell would we ever afford this" reality).  What would be best for that baby?  Am I even capable of this?  I'm flattered L would trust me even with the idea of homeschooling his number one buddy, but I don't know if I could do it.  

I have a lot to read up on...  And a lot of googling to do for design inspiration :)
