Agreed.

We've been homeschooling our 11 yr. old since 3rd grade. Our 5 yr. old has been homeschooled from the start. At age 4 he was reading short sentences in pre-k. Mom worked with him through the summer. When we got our Kinergarten materials, we noticed that he already knew everything in the book. Sent the materials back and ordered the first grade materials. He's loving it.

If we try hard enough we will find a way to teach our kids to succeed. It's all about loving them more than ourselves. We've cut back and done without alot of "things" in our life to make it possible for my wife and I to teach our kids.

Key phrase. Doesn't matter if it's publik skrewl kids or homeschool kids. What helps them succeed is that we as parents try hard enough.

Ditto that. It's all about priorities, eh what?
