You are a hero, I think. You've made a decision that is consistent with reality of present days. It is great! I believe time will bring more stories like yours and people will eventually understand that something is out of date in education systems. Amazing! You are a hero, I think.

You’ve made a decision that is consistent
with reality of present days. It is great!

I believe time will bring more stories like
yours and people will eventually understand
that something is out of date in education
systems.

She is now at 20, a television producer, who handles multimillion dollar budgets, organizes 100's of people and makes more money than I do with all my formal university education. How? I homeschooled her until age 14 and she learned to research, organize and use her time creatively. Formal schooling was a step backward.
