So, how are the kids you homeschool going to do on the following standard high school math question: Two automobiles start out in opposite directions. Each go 40 miles; make 90-degree left turns and go 30 miles. How far apart are they?

It sounds like you are interested in homeschooling.

The funny thing is, my 10 year son can do that problem now. The pythagorian theorem fascinated him from the time he first saw it a year and half ago. He is now discovering the joys of the Law of Invesre Squares (laughing).

And he reads HS level literature.

My daughter, soon to be 13, will have to be throttled back pretty soon for evrything but math. She is already doing High School level literature, science, and social sciences. I expect the math to come around - she is now seeing a tutor once a week. She will have to throttled back because our community college won't let her take classes there until she is 16.
