Home school background part 2

When younger daughter was in middle school I was not involved with school at all. She seemed
to be having no problems. I was oblivious apparently. We had a conference with her teacher who
kept us waiting over 20 minutes while he chatted it up with one of the more popular girls and her
family. I knew this teacher and I knew he was not a good one but since daughter didn't seem to be
having a problem I let it go. After talking with the supportive principal we decided she would
only go to school part time. At home she studies math and, because it was what she was interested in,
she read Japanese stories and studied Japanese history. She started 9th grade because they offered
Japanese. That lasted about one term and she was out of school again studying what interested her.
She got her GED before she would have graduated and then went on to community college.
