Whoa! Miss Aine, I just heard that you're homeschooling your children. Right on! You'll never regret doing it, and neither will the kids. My mother had the good foresight to homeschool my sisters and I. We were homeschooled for 12 years. I count it pas the once most important thing to happen in my life. Now my sisters and I are all college students, and our homeschooling has raised us to a higher academic level. NOTE--I have nothing against you folks who went to public school--I admire you greatly. But in our particular circumstance, moving every three years, and the absence of good schools led to the decision for homeschooling. Here's a toast to all of us who've survived the academic experience. "I see it as a challenge before the whole human race, and I ain't gonna lose!"--Mbo (Cheers!)
