"The experience wasn't bad at all," says Miller, "I simply planned for all my cou rses to be in the afternoon when my kids were in daycare or school." Miller, who graduated from D'Arcy McGee High School in 1965, decided to go back to school because she discovered that she had the time to do so. "I found that by 10:30 I had finished all my housework and all I was doing was watch the soaps and do some voluntary work. "I had always wanted to go to sc hool. In fact, after high school that was what I was planning, but instead I got married and had two children. Then, I worked for three years. and had three more children." Her remarriage proved to be the catalyst which spurred her to take courses. Tentatively, she took an algebra course in the summer of 1978 as a mature student.

In Breuer's case, they may be right since he's been showered by impressive graduate school offers. He has accepted Harvard's offer of an $11,000 grant to study near eastern languages and civilizations, specializing in post-biblical Jewish history.
