When Josh was being home-schooled, we let him enroll in a course from one well-known university of which I can not remember.(old age). The course he signed up for was Philately. (Not sure of the spelling here.) The college professor who was responsibe for the class knew it was a 9th grader, and he was real good in working with Josh. He took the time to explain things on the papers that Josh had to send in with the course. He did not just put a grade on them, He would go into detail to explain things. I never knew that word, or knew there was so much to collecting, till Josh took that class.
That course sounds great!!! And, the teacher sounds even better! I'll have to ask Josh if he still has a collection.
