Hi Frank,
Thank you for one of the best essays on the glory of home schooling I have ever read. And congratulations to your children for their excellent achievements, which I am sure will continue to expand as they grow into fabulous human beings in their adulthood. You and your wife are just about the perfect parents.
Our experiences in home schooling mirror your almost exactly. TBN is the "product" of home schoolers.
Many, many people ask me (when they meet my sons) "how did you ever get them to turn out that way?" They mean, clear, polite, intelligent, healthy, etc. I just say, "We spent time with them."
I think that is the #1 key to success in home schooling -- you are there with them and can really and truly know your children, and they of course get to be influenced by you and your wife in thousands of positive ways. [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
All the best,
