Thereafter she worked from home as a professional seamstress until Dad abandoned us when I was 12. Mom was able to get a full-time job in nursing again and a few years later, when my brother was ready for kindergarten, we homeschooled him to save money and 'cause he's born in June, he was just too young for the rest of his classmates. Got that? Single parent and homeschooling. And it paid off. My brother entered first grade way ahead of his older classmates and ended up skipping a grade from third to fifth because he needed more academic challenges. (He was just too good at maths* and the year at home put him leaps and bounds ahead of his peers.) To blanketly criticize parents for educating their children as they see fit is patently unfair. *How many children do you know who run Monopoly games by themselves and have the entire board--complete with all possible rents--memorized before they're five years old? :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
