Her kids were educated at home, but not by her. The family hired tutors/teachers -- nothing wrong with that, but it's not as though she did any actual teaching. [/quote]

I don’t have any backstage knowledge, but on her website she has a post discussing her decision to homeschool and [b]it certainly reads like she did the teaching[/b]. Perhaps she started on her own but by the time her kids were doing physics and calculus she needed to hire a tutor 😄. [/quote]

Oh, yeah, I assume that's intentional. The people who write her blog have long worked to make it seem as though she's a superwoman who is also, somehow, just like you, which I assume is a savvy marketing (her major) move. And I wouldn't care so much about the packaged folksiness -- I really do think we should let people like things, as the kids say -- but I worry about readers who think they should be able to do this, too. No, you should not. She has a ton of money at her disposal, and she has always used it to hire people to do all sorts of work. If any of us had that kind of $$$, we'd be able to produce a picture of a perfect life, too. [/quote]
