Both of them had some HUGE adjustments to make and it was never going to be easy.
Austin would stay home most of the year and learned remotely.
Victoria would be un-enrolled from school in favor of home-schooling.
It involved a lot of work from both of them and more patience that either has ever been asked to deploy. Austin needed to manage his studies independently with maturity of a college freshman and Victoria was challenged at an individualized-level that she had never experienced. Yet, at the end of the year, Austin was scoring 95% on a 9th grade regents exam (taken in 8th grade) and Victoria was writing at the level of 6th grader while completing math assignments for 5th graders (while still in 4th grade).
They have been absolute rock-star students.
Both of them thrived and we couldn’t be prouder.
