I have many friends who homeschool whose children have gotten into PAC-10 or Ivy League schools.<BR/><BR/>I have to mention something about this: "BTW did you know that by 5th grade most kids are more influenced by their peers than their parents? Yeesh!"<BR/><BR/>As a third grade and former fifth grade teacher I can tell you why. My students at daycare two hours before school started. They were then picked up by after school care or daycare where they stayed until about 6 or 7 pm. EVERY day. I had a hard time with this. I knew I was the most influential adult in their lives. Broke my heart.<BR/><BR/>Truly, any educational system will work, if the parents care and are involved. It sounds like you are!!!Nutmeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10690109684941229455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179218854791150253.post-31067544179700125492008-08-18T19:03:00.000-07:002008-08-18T19:03:00.000-07:00I DO think that Stanford will be impressed.
