Canadian Gal Lost on Guam
Dec. 29, 2008
Newspaper Article
Well, Les and I made Guam's newspaper. We were interviewed before Christmas by a PDN reporter about our homeschooling our children. I wasn't sure how much of our interview would be used but you can read it here:

Parents teach their kids: Homeschooling an attractive alternative

At first I didn't like that our portion was delegated towards the end of the interview, but then Les said that made for a nice strong finish to the story. I even ran into the reporter at the grocery store this afternoon and complimented him on doing a nice job.

I also didn't like the comment that our driving school pays the bills but that is about all it does. We never said that. We did say that we weren't getting rich from teaching driver's ed though! It's all in the semantics I suppose. I do feel that our driving school does more than just pay the bills. Our children work for us and learn business management skills. It allows me to be with my kids and to be able to homeschool them.  And I really like working for myself and being my own boss. Goes along with that whole adventure theme from yesterday's blog post.

So now we have had our 15 minutes of fame. We can go back to our regularly programmed life.

I had to smile when I read that Eric doesn't like math but likes to read about animals--that is my daughter to a T! Math is a constant struggle for us.
