 | | Elisheva and her brother, Noam, 13, are entering their third year of home school at what their mother affectionately calls the "Comfy Couch Academy." The "classroom" is an amiably cluttered living room whose corners are stacked high with books, movies, craft supplies and musical instruments. |
 | | Noam and Elisheva, though bright, capable students, have learning disabilities that demand attention their busy teachers were not able to provide, Levine says. |
 | | Noam and Elisheva have yet to take any standardized tests as home-schoolers -- Georgia requires that home-schoolers be tested every three years -- but their mother is not worried. |
