| "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."

Wonder what will happen to homeschool parents? TN is not quite as friendly to homeschoolers as Georgia is, but there are a lot of parents I know that homeschool up in Chattanooga. As for my family, we've had our taste of public schools and it wasn't for us, but for the record, my husband and I both volunteered all the time when my child was in school.
