Why don’t you run it down for us? Tell us the main things you have learned from your experiences and how that shows that you are proof of what I’m saying here.

The most important things I’ve learned are basic math and reading skills. I know that sounds sad but I didn’t know how to make change before and I hated to read. After I did the reading classes I learned why things are spelled a certain way and how that relates to their meaning. With the ‘look say’ way of reading every word was totally unrelated to another word.

Like what’s the relationship between ‘total’ and ‘totally’? Do they have a similar meaning? I was never taught that in school.

I never saw a multiplication table until I got the home school curriculum. Now I just know the answers to some basic math questions instead of having to make groups and figure it out every time - which was something I never did so I would just use a calculator for things like 12x12.

And etc.
