wow Bath, I love you and your DH's views on life and where you put the importance on things. I have never actually thought about education quite like that. Everything you said about you and DH as kids being very bright and just having to sit there doing nothing while the rest of the class caught up, thatshow my education was and I gave up in the end and really bombed out in year 12 cause there just wasnt enough time to have one on one with a teacher to work out where I wanted my studies to take me. You have really made me think more about DS schooling, thanks heaps
