The thing that really ...Great wrap up of the week! The thing that really appeals to me about homeschooling (well, there are lots of things) but one of the big ones is that YOU the parent get to learn and re-learn right along with your child. It makes you appreciate learning even more, I would imagine. And, I know there's tons of stuff I learned in school I've forgotten by now.Rheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027061380778030388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692904496256051846.post-68277361775245439312008-05-02T17:47:00.000-04:002008-05-02T17:47:00.000-04:00Actually, the song was the first thing i noticed t...Actually, the song was the first thing i noticed too.

How amazing. I'll see if my library has that book. I was talking about Harvard to someone last night...and how it (or any of the Ivy leagues that are doing this) would be so much cheaper than a state school (even here in Georgia, where if you have good grades, our lottery funds pay tuition).

I know what I like...but he is the one I have to say - hey "who is that?" or "what is the name of that song?" He is one of those type people that I can say part of a lyric and he'll know what the song is. That is so not my gift.<BR/><BR/>Yes...it really was an uneventful week.
