Educating great kids
With the US trailing many
foreign
countries in education it is important to realize that sending your children to a public school may not be adequate. You can spend $20 - $30,000 per year for private schooling, pay the hourly cost of a private tutor or do the job yourself. Fortunately there are many good teaching aids that can help.

Tools - Computers
Most reading, writing, math and keyboarding courses now require a computer. While we prefer the "old fashioned" CD or DVD based courses some only come via the Internet and require Internet access.
The programs generally specify the basic requirements for computers. Some test your computer and tell you if it has adequate resources. (A useless experience if you are not using the computer that will be used for training.)
