In response to Christine's:Methods Overview!:
I find that these methods can be combined. For instance, I follow a standards-based curriculum but I spend alot of energy getting my daughter curious about a subject before teaching it. And I follow her interests around. So I feel that I have a "student interest"-centric approach (ie unschooling) but which I manage in such a way that we follow a standards-based curriculum. This might sound easy: it's not. Often it "works like a dream", sometimes it's a nightmare.

One service that I find that helps is http://www.Time4Learning.com

Great article, but I'd love to see more info on other approaches such as Montessori, Waldorf, and Charlotte Mason.
