It's not hard to do so. For one, I'm a total nerd and always have been. I'm constantly taking classes myself, and enjoy learning right along with the girls. Things I learned at their age come back quickly. It's obviously working. As I mentioned above:

Straight Fs in public school, now straight As. Below Basic in STAR testing --> Advanced and at the top of her class (yes, she has a "class" of a few dozen others).

Google is your friend. Use it, and you'll learn that homeschoolers do better in the real world than their public schooled peers, who think High School drama actually matters, and will more-and-more often be asking important questions, once they graduate - IF they graduate, like, "Do you want fries with that?" while my homeschooled kids take control of the world.
