He moved here, to Effingham, Il in Sept. '08 and my daughter and I gave up and joined him about year ago. She started 6th grade right before Christmas '08 in "public" school in a little town called Teutopolis. And .. oh what a town it is. Population 1200 (Effingham has 12,000 -- wooo hooo), ONE Catholic church, and 6 bars. The public grade school is physically owned by the Catholic church and leased by the school district, thereby making it possible to hold daily religion classes in grade school. It kind of makes my head spin to think about it too much. Although, in the long run it's not been a totally awful experience for a first-time "real" school experience. This year is "middle school" and so far.. so good. Although, there are times we miss the luxury of home school and being able to really get into something, she's also very much enjoying yearbook, and band and honors band and volleyball and student council and fundraisers and PE class and farming and making high honors honor roll. (More than anyone needed to know, but.. a mom's got to brag when given the slightest opportunity lol) nancy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elkie" <elkcooker44@xxxxxxxxx> To: <geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 24, 2010 7:25 PM Subject: [GeoStL] Re: OT: Darn You Glenn: More google Earth > - > I thought you home schooled your daughter?
