Hi, Skip (and Lydia),

Glad y'all are doing well.

I love newsgroups. You asked for responses by people who had
experience homeschooling and cruising. How many of those did you get,
as opposed to pontification by dickwads who know ****-all about ****-
all? Socialization! Jeezis Christ on Kaopectate, BAR, you're a ****ing
idiot. And, Bob, if you wanna defend the value of schooling, perhaps
you should lean your native ****ing tongue a bit better and lead us by
example, speaking of "knowing what you're doing."

Frank (*un*schooling for the last 5 or so years and I'll match my
kids' SAT scores, schoolish knowledge, and *especially* their ability
to function in the real world against any schooled kid)

P.S. Our older daughter was 13 when we moved aboard. She was not
enthused but she was willing and somewhat interested. I agree that
it's a tough thing for a teenager to break from everything she knows
to head into the unknown when it's not her own dream.
