Well,
My boy Ben just turned 14. This past summer he was earning around $100 a week from lawn mowing in the neighborhood. He has picked up some leaf raking opportunities, and with an elderly couple down the street has brightened their day.
I had something to drop of to Miss Virginia this evening, and she just went on and on about what a good boy he was, in doing the jobs they hired him for, including gutter cleaning, as well as yard work. She remarked on how polite and well spoken he was. This is usual input from folks who meet my homeschooled son.
I have another son, who wants to be just like Ben.
