I find it interesting that there are no rabbis on the agenda to explain how one can teach his children mikrah, mishnah and gemara in a homeschool setting.
Why not? I don't have the patience to teach my kids all day (homework is enough for me) but why would mishna be any different than Math?
My Rebbeim in elementary school were pretty terrible (for the most part). A typical parent would probably be at least as good.

The conference speaker list is not complete. We absolutely will have rabbis (one confirmed, a couple more still maybes) and several workshops on teaching limudei kodesh, hopefully including kriah, chumash, mishna and gemara!
However, even with these workshops, the point of homeschooling is that every parent will decide the right way to teach his/her children.
