CNN: 10 Homeschooled Celebrities Article

I found this quite an interesting short read on CNN online. This quote just amazes me! "Louisa May Alcott studied mostly with her dad, but had a few lessons from family friends Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Can you imagine?"

Whom I bet they could write a good essay and build a good hut in the woods and keep an itemised account list of nails, wood etc..

Your welcome Ganeida. It's not often you see positive articles on hsing in the news, so I couldn't resist but post it.

Peter, we could think that over but would need internet access in our schoolhouse shack as times have changed. Oh, and an offer to teach a class or two might raise the motivation! Shall I sign you on for English, History or both?
