> Homeschools have "teachers" too, don't they?

    Parent or legal guardian. It works like this: Parent orders textbooks,
    throws them at kid, administers and presides over schooling of
    kid. Result: one-on-one attention, accelerated learning, avoidance of
    public school jerks and all that wonderful "socialization"

Ahh.  A fair number of the "homeschools" around here seem to be
neighborhood groups with several kids and several teachers, for "four on
four" interaction, sort of.  Still, a message from a parent from a work
address with "I'm homeschooling my kid and want free parts" may yield
better results than "I'm a kid who wants free parts."

Are you sure there aren't other geeks around?  I'd be surprised if you
couldn't find at least some "radio geeks" (hams) at a military base of any
size.  Ham/digital geek interaction isn't always great, but sometimes it
can be quite synergistic...
