No doubt about it--BUT it would take a lot of work on my part, and I'm a homebody. I have NO interest in "carschooling," as you put it...

Probably b/c we're used to hearing comments like these: http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/10/would-you-want-to-be-home-schooled/?apage=1#comments I agree that it takes too much work. I'm exhausted. It's difficult b/c I'm a total introvert, too. Definitely prefer the library to a party Last edited by 2cool4school; 11/21/11 03:38 PM.
