How much influence do those type of kids have on homeschooled youth?!? Well then, I guess I'd better tell my child that church is where we practice dealing with the world because, after all, church is a hospital for sinners, not a showcase for saints.

I regret it, as far as academics are concerned, because I do not think they did her justice. She is graduating this year, and while she hasn't given up on her dream of becoming a librarian, we will have to take a different route than traditional college, as her GPA isn't high enough, nor her SATs. It was a decision I struggled with so much. In the end, I let her heart win me out. I don't feel like a failure, because I am always involved in her education even though she has been a public school kid the last four years, but I do wish I could turn the hands of the clock back. Live and learn, because I will not put either of my boys in public school, no matter how much they beg me lol. Lee,
