Agreed. We're Americans living in Argentina (http://homeschoolargentina.com though not frequently updated); we're homeschooling three kids, and one of the programs we use (among many) is EPGY, a program through Stanford University for kids as young as six. It brings together kids from all over the world for incredibly hands-on teaching from world-class professors.

The resources that our kids have access to such as this make an education that wasn't even possible a decade ago almost trivial.
