Looks like we have a trend going.
Oldest daughter has gone into mourning because she has been informed that after Labor Day she will have to turn her stand over to her partner in crime (the fourteen year old neighbor girl who supplies the eggs). Oldest daughter is now campaigning to be home schooled as well.

They have decided to become tycoons and this is only the first step in a plan that includes going to Wharton.

As the parents we say they are going to have to sell a LOT of eggs and tomatoes to pay that tuition.

"They have decided to become tycoons and this is only the first step in a plan that includes going to Wharton."

So it appears that information on the Internet is good enough to convince people that an education at Wharton is worth considerable expense, but no one seems to wonder how much of an education one could receive from information on the Internet.

Good job on the three!!

Sounds like the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in your neck of the woods!

Homeschooling isn’t that bad. I mean, they can’t pick up any bad habits from their classmates, can they?

Yes, they will need to sell LOTS of eggs and tomatoes to get to Wharton!

I’ve been homeschooling for over 25 years. I wish I had a student with drive!
