RHODES WINNER
Homeschool grad Lara Anderson has been awarded a Rhodes Scholarship.
When it was time for Anderson to start kindergarten, her parents considered what she would learn there and decided she already was having happy, productive days at home and might as well stay there. “She was thriving and we said, ‘Why goof up a good thing?’ ” says her mother, a registered nurse who set aside her career to teach her two children.
