I think that's tremendous! (glad to hear you eschew the denim skirts though lol) What in the world kind of education gives kids that much information about trees and nothing about how to use the English language? That's insane!!!
In such a richly historic and cultural area, you'd think they'd be out every other week looking at stuff. I'm glad she's going to get the chance to see it all. Sorry to hear she was bullied, though.
With the negativity so pervasive in public schools (Mr. Timelord was a substitute teacher for a while and is in process of getting his final certification), I can completely understand homeschooling. If we ever have kids, I will probably do the same thing. Which is kind of sad, considering I just mentioned that Mr. Timelord wants to be a public school teacher. The kids are ridiculous, they don't listen, and the administration is generally so apathetic that nothing is going to change to make it better.
At least this way you know what she's learning, you know she's learning it correctly, and that she's not going to be tormented for being a good kid by the other little...kids... <-- nice word instead of bad word I was thinking. :)
