		<description><![CDATA[From Patricia Byers 
&quot;We home schooled. We kept our children involved socially with involvement in a home school group locally, 4&#039;H club membership, and church youth groups. All were very helpful, in fact, the 4&#039;H group enabled my 3 girls to travel to several different state events. They are all college grads now and one is a Dr. They also served as teachers to their younger brother, and had him reading before the age of three, and consequently, also home schooled, and college grad.&quot;]]></description>
