The oldest person in the world, Mrs. Hendrikje van Andel-Schipper hopes to celebrate her 115th birthday tomorrow.
She is said to have been home-educated by her parents on the advice of the family doctor, because she seemed too sickly to spend her days in a dark and dusty classroom and needed to play outside to stay healthy.
Now Mrs. Van Andel is almost 115 and has outlived all her schooled peers. Looks like the best bit of medical advice we've heard in a long time. GP's to prescribe Home Ed?
