One dastardly idea -- she might learn what NOT to do. :)

Seriously, sometimes the other person has to go through something -- even if
we don't -- in order to end up where they need to be. Maybe in the end it will
affirm her commitment to hsing.

And, otoh, one article I read recently was about teachers leaving the
profession partly because ps is not at all like what they are taught in college -- so
maybe this Mom could keep some of the good ideas that are taught and not have
to try to apply them in a ps setting -- and get some personal benefit that a
teacher proceeding to ps would not.

Maybe she wants the degree for future employment purposes too -- life not
always being so predictable.

All of which still begs the question: Why would anyone decide to pursue a
masters in education BECAUSE they've decided to homeschool, and why would
they
think it was a good idea to pursue that while the child was very young, and
why
oh why would any homeschoolers encourage them in that pursuit?

Again, how would pursuing that masters help a young mother in her goal of
homeschooling her very very young child?
