In Someone's Life Sometimes Parents Don’t Realize – The Grass is not Greener on the Other Side of the Fence! Story #4: Be the Turning Point.........In Someone's Life

Happy New Year, Mr. Johnson (Central Valley Home School)!


We've been meaning to email you and thank you for taking care of Little Will's disenrollment needs as we sent him back to public school the week before Winter Break.  He has adjusted well and is finding the challenge there that I simply couldn't offer in my current state of pregnancy.
                  
We wanted to let you know, as well, how grateful he and we, as parents, were for the time he had homeschooling through CVHS.  We were a little worried that Will might be behind where the public school students currently are, but were very pleased to find out that he was in fact FIVE chapters ahead in the same HOLT U.S. History textbook and is gleaning more as he "reviews" those chapters while his peers learn it the first time around!  Also, though they use a different Geometry text (McDougal-Littell) than the HOLT Geometry book Will learned through CVHS, he was THREE chapters ahead of his peers in middle school!  As a matter of fact, his new geometry teacher gave him a short quiz on his second day there and announced to the class that Will had scored higher than some of them there!  It made Little Will blush (and us, as parents, very proud!).   

CVHS provided, and continues to provide, the flexibility and rigor we desire for our children.  How pleased we are to homeschool in collaboration with CVHS and you, Mr. J, as our master teacher!  We look forward to the semester ahead as we continue homeschooling our other three children through CVHS.  Thank you and CVHS for all that you do for our family!

Most Sincerely,

Will and Trish Freeman
