Wow! I'm glad to hear this. I really didn't know the UK was working toward that. I've been pretty out of information as we try to buy a house.... But still, I need to be aware! Thank you for keeping us posted!!!!

I wanted to share something with you, in case you didn't already know about it. It's a writing contest for homeschool kiddos. The winner of the contest wins based on number of entries, NOT the writing itself! I love this because, as an aspiring author, I've read any number of places and in any number of ways that the more one submits, the more likely one is to "win" publishing. So, what a great contest for our kids to feel excitement about simply submitting! ^_^
