Lawrence, others who have responded to this thread, Thanks for your feedback. From your response and that of others who e-mailed me off-list, the very idea of homeschooling in India seems quite different from what it is in the USA.
In many cases it seems to involve private tutoring--not necessarily by a parent. It also seems to be anchored to a traditional school board, like the ICSE. Homeschoolers in the USA use their independence from the system to learn in ways that are often alien to the traditional school system and have, as a consequence, a good record of academic excellence.
