Have I mentioned how much I love this program? It is just great. My daughter was saying the other day that she would not have near as good of grades without it. From my perspective, the stress in our home has dropped significantly because she is all done with homework before it is time for her to WIG out about it! Thank you so much for all you are doing for her.
