I like what you're doing with the girls' education. <br /><br />I am glad you got a plug for on-ghetto sci-fi in there - which can put "real literature" to shame when it comes to exploring the human condition. <br /><br />Been thinking about you guys lately. Maybe we'll find a way to come for a visit.hbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858952513490644004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38495401.post-42404354633159444572009-04-30T06:09:00.000-07:002009-04-30T06:09:00.000-07:00My Dear Toast, Christi and I think you and the Doc...My Dear Toast, Christi and I think you and the Doc. are doing a fine job. We will be on the Road in just 60 days. "can you believe it?" Our son, a true tween, will be going to his dads in CA for 7th & 8th grade. There is a small chance that he will come with us and we will home school. Christi has been reading your War Intell and will implement your tactics. We tried the traditional home school program before and it was a total flop. We truly believe you have paved the beaten path for a HS system that WORKS. Now for the important part, where do we send the Care Package???

I would love to have my 8 yr olds gain the experiences that your kids have been getting. The bookwork is important, but the social/coping skills and indpendence they are working on will be invaluable in their lives, and that is something that 99.9% of kids dont get with our American education system. I am not a psychologist or educator, but i recognize what is important in life.keep up the great work and continue to live the dream..<br />BGbrian gillhttp://hyerpower.comnoreply@blogger.com
