Hi Susan, I was thinking about your homeschooling, and thought, wondered what you think of self-taught adults who bypass higher education and become experts without the degree. Wouldn't it be cool if adults could homeschool themselves and take tests to get the degree like elementary and high school students do? I'd be interested to hear your ideas in a blog :)
