why

It was almost 8:45 when Kooka hopped out of the shower.

She spotted a library book on my nightstand and picked it up. It was just a little something I read last night, but it peaked her interest.

She climbed into bed and did not stop reading until all 172 pages had passed.

That is why we should homeschool - because when someone is driven to learn, to read, to imagine - we shouldn't have to interrupt that just so she can get up at 6:45 am.
