I appreciate the article and I appreciate the ideas for what churches and LCMS schools can do to reach out to homeschool families. Having homeschooled our children for more than a decade, I think we've seen an attitude shift where our Lutheran schools are beginning to look at homeschooling, not as a threat or as competition, but as an opportunity for outreach. Many homeschool parents out there are constantly looking for resources, quite often in one or two areas, particularly for things that are pretty hard/impossible to do at home alone (such as band, choir, etc.) There is a multitude of opportunity here for the Synod, for Concordia Publishing House, for Lutheran Education Association, etc.
