Home Schooling

Tracy and I are discussing schools for Paxton...

Tracy: I just want to make sure he gets a good start on a good education so he gets lots of opportunities.

Joshua: My philosophy is that it's less important which Kindergarten he goes to and more important that we work with him at home to instill a focus on being a good student.

Tracy: You know, Lyndee (who is Benjamin's age) can already spell her name. All our focus has been on Paxton. We haven't done anything with Benjamin yet.

Joshua: That's not true. Benjamin is a genius. Benjamin! Come here!

Benjamin comes waddling up from the next room.

Joshua: Ben, how do you spell your name?

Ben: B... O... X...

Joshua: VERY GOOD! I LOVE MY SON, BOX!

Charter school it is!
