For anyone who doubts how to get a home school kid into college, my 16 yo son is driving home from enrolling himself in Community College.

Washer stopped before the final spin. Kids had to wring out heavy, wet towels and blankets in the tub. That got old, quick! Teen son learned how to fix it by reading web sites and manuals and YouTube videos.

Just like Toad, I created a perfect environment for my seedlings to grow. They had proper soil, water and sun, but I wanted results NOW! I wanted to be sure they were going to “do” something, not just sit in all this richness I provided.

There was a time when burn out was my normal. I lived and home schooled this way for at least 2-3 yrs. It began to affect me physically. That’s when I knew I had to do something different.
