Many do not have the luxury of time, money and education to homeschool.

That is a fallacy. We know people who home school starting at 1:00 AM when parents are home. We know others who almost exclusively use the public library for resources instead of buying the latest and greatest at the home school conferences.

Last but not least a good friend of ours taught her two daughters through high school. The mom took the GED at the same time her younger daughter did. Mom went on to college and is now working for an accounting firm as a junior CPA partner. In the 16 or so years we have home schooled we have seenabout every situation there is. The secret is to have the conviction that you are responsible for educating your children. If you are doing it for convenience you will not have the same results.

How high-handed is this? GED'd mom trying to teach her kids advanced math when she obviously, couldn't graduate herself?

Plus, who can learn at 2 am? I've done college and grad school and I wasn't seven.

I have conviction about educating my boys and I also know my limitations.

You are so very correct my fellow Kentuckian! Hope all is well, neighbor!
