I appreciate it and hope my kids benefit as yours did.

The different views are interesting and based a lot on personality.  My 
dh and I are very different personality types.  I worry a lot about high 
school for my kids.  They will turn 19yo shortly before graduating.  I 
can't even imagine.  I graduated at 17yo and that seemed to late to me. 
  I was quite a handful and living at home for another 2 years is just 
unthinkable.  My dh on the other hand - he doesn't see a thing wrong 
with it.  He can't imagine being 19yo upon graduating being any trouble 
at all.  He was not a rebellious or independent kid, or adult.  It is 
all very interesting.  I wish I had a crystal ball :)
