We have a Homeschooling conference coming to Denver in June.  I hope to be 
able to arrange for the time off.  I think this will be a MUST GO-DO!  Thanks 
for the input on changing things.  We (my wife and I) have some friends who 
homeschool, and we have talked to them about it a few times....and it really 
is sort of spooky.  They make it seem too simple.  I am sure that it is a 
double-edged sword,...and have to be careful which way I use it. 
I heard a report about results of homeschooling the other day.  I was very 
much encouraged about the DEGREE of difference between home vs Pub schooling.
Looking forward to it.  Julie and I are working on a Science Project (crystal 
growing)  I *CAN'T BELIEVE*,....how wrong some of the times on the 'laundry 
list' are.  Julie (12),...just said,..."Well, Dad,..thats public schools for 
you."
(What a HOOT!)
