What can you accomplish when you can study on your own, with
a mentor, or with a few equally determined friends? When a wrong answer is
just a reason to try again, when the goal is learning and not a grade?
What can you accomplish?
Mathematics from Basic Math to Pre-Algebra in 25 hours.
Grammar from the parts of speech through the Elements of
Style in 40 hours.
Reading from phonetics to a sixth grade reading level in 65
hours.
(Total number of class hours over 5 months for an
average student.)
What can you learn when you really want to learn? When
you're free from coercion and artificial constraints? When you
decide what to study, when to study, and how to study it? What can you
learn?
ANYTHING! EVERYTHING!
