Well, I should say "former" homeschooler, I guess, since he's now enrolled full time in college. But take a look:

Thanks, Jenny!

I really enjoyed the article, and I think it's a great example of how the media can profile a gifted child without the "exploitation factor" rearing its ugly head.

Sky seems like a nice boy from a nice family, and while his parents are obviously proud of him, they're not trying to turn him into a side show attraction.

Good for them!!!

Yes, I "know" his mom online, and she's great. I've been following Sky's adventures for a couple of years. They are a nice family.
