Anyway, one of my sister's friends homeschools, and her around 13- year- old daughter has decided that instead of learning French or Spanish, she wants to learn some very odd dialiect of a language that there'd be no way she'd be able to learn in public or private school. Hannah learning Japanese made me think of that; proactive homeschooling can be very cool.
