I've admired her for a long time and her accomplishments just astound me.<br /><br />@Jaccstev I did not know about Hypatia! Thank you so much for bringing her to my attention. I'm definitely going to be doing some reading on her very soon. I wish there would be a biopic about Maria.

As for homeschooling, I never thought about it, but I do tutor my nephews and there is something to be said for more intensive studies outside of the school environment.<br /><br />@Dez I could not agree more with you.
