(And good looks.)"<br /><br />I'm afraid I must differ here, sir. Since you have given us all the photographic evidence necessary, it is clear that your children got their good looks from you. The Missus still has hers. :)<br /><br />Congratulations to the both of you on your progress and you children's. From all that we hear, it seems you have done a great job so far of raising decent, hard-working Americans. From one father to another, I salute you. While the wife and I may not be so... prolific (we'll see what God wills), I hope that we can try to match you in quality.Free-range Oysterhttp://freerangeoyster.selfip.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-87712530518224619602009-12-13T03:26:54.353-05:002009-12-13T03:26:54.353-05:00Hint: West Point values homeschoolers for their u...Hint: West Point values homeschoolers for their usually superior character and academic accomplishment. Two of our three homeschoolers are Grads. Three aspects are point-valued in the admissions process and in the 4-year curriculum: Academics, Leadership and Physical Fitness. I co-led one of our state's West Point Admissions programs for three + years early in this decade.David R.

The idea is to utilize the child's natural interests to focus and develop curriculum, making school an adjunct to those interests rather than an impediment. It is surprisingly easy to employ this approach and has the benefit of creating autodidacts instead of people accustomed to being spoon-fed information.<br /><br />The absurdity of how the schools abuse (neglect is too mild a term) academically gifted kids is a whole different rant. I won't go there today as it is not a happy place.<br /><br />Congrats to Bob on excellent work and to his parents for making him do it. Don't worry too much about the spelling unless and until you take up competitive Scrabble. Doing crossword and acrostic puzzles is an excellent and enjoyable drill.RESnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-66665488766976118922009-12-12T22:29:48.275-05:002009-12-12T22:29:48.275-05:00Gosh, that's seriously awesome news!Gosh, that's seriously awesome news!AmPowerBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18236333181889271910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-76115234813508878982009-12-12T20:46:34.978-05:002009-12-12T20:46:34.978-05:00Daughter at Frostburg State?
