Spelling is SOOOOO 20th century.
I have a 36 year old daughter who would have NEVER won a spelling bee...but she has her own business. She excells at marketing and has made one to two million dollars annnually for the past eight years.
She went to a public school, and when she was in seventh grade, she told her friends consistently that she would be a millionaire some day.
Success has nothing to do with home schooling, if you ask me. Could it be the will?
