How many kids are you homeschooling?  It sounds like you are doing school
at home.  I guess our approach would be different because I have only one
that I'm officially homeschooling this year... but talking out of turn
isn't an issue here at all.
 RF> I am building a computer for their very own.  It will have all the
 RF> tools necessary for writing, dictionary, encyclopedia and such.  I

 RF> HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!
It sounds to me like it is more rigid and controlled than they can handle,
and they are letting you know with their behavior problems.  I myself
couldn't handle anything that formal.  We have our lessons wherever and
whenever we want, and pretty much act similar to any other time, except
that I'll sit around giving him 100% of my attention and praising him lots.
I don't know how other people with more than one child do it.  I guess every
family is different.
