outstanding! there is a two year gap btwn our oldest and the next two that are a year apart, once the oldest could read well she helped teach the younger two, who were more than eager to learn which i guess is half the battle, but could not have done so by symbol reading...When my kids were the ages for 6th and 4th grade I had to send them to public school, and this was in the mid/early 80s when home schooling was rare or actually illegal in many states. The principle was shocked that I, a high school dropout, had tried to educate my children at home. He said he’d put them in the right grade for their ages but would test them, and they’d probably have to go down to a lower grade.
HA HA
He tested them and they both had to go in the “gifted” classes or whatever they were called, they were both in the upper 90s percentiles in everything (except one was only 70s in math, she hated math). His mind exploded.
