positiveminded1977 @positiveminded1977 (7072) • India 9 Oct 08

There is no homeschooling in India. All the kids go to school, and peace reigns at home for several hours. Recently, I was writing a series of articles on homeschooling for an American client. That's where I came across...

susanh39 Great idea! I am going to check it out. :) Movies in the theatre are so cost-prohibitive nowadays, especially if we would want to go as a family. Even matinees would cost nearly $25 for the four of us. Thanks for the info! :)

susanh39 This is so true...the older folks around us should be appreciated and respected. They should be helped if needed. I am guilty too of being impatient at times. Thank you for the very important reminder.

susanh39 I understand that every culture has varying opinions on this issue. However, I only married for love. If I hadn't married my husband, and hadn't found someone to love and trust my life to, I would prefer to be single.
