Gordon,

We've homeschooled our 3 daughters since about 1987. We started when my oldest was in 2nd grade and now she is a senior at a 4 year college. My middle daugter was taken out school at the same time (she was in kindegarden) and is now in her second year in college. My youngest is 15 and has never been to public school until this year where she is taking classes at our local community college.

All my girls have to study and work hard to get good grades. But we didn't do it for the academics.

Homeschooling isn't easy...but it's worth it. It's a drastic lifestyle change at first but it's woth it. I wouldn't trade the time I've been able to spend with them for anything. (especially since I've worked from home all these years)
