Haha great shot, did you intend to halo or did that happen accidentally XD
Also dance class in the actual library or just in the same building o_O
There's reasons that we decided to homeschool ;D
though apparently we've simultaneously managed to do everything that's "bad" for them and still miraculously have kids that are apparently smarter and more mature and think more critically and are able to hold conversations with people of various ages and backgrounds than their peers despite all that, or so I keep getting told by other people
Anyway what you're doing is only ever going to go south if you become one of those people that hyperfocuses on "educational" (or whatever) to the exclusion of all else and actively try to prevent access to the things you consider undesirable (whatever they may be); I've watched that generally end badly with a statistically insignificant number of people, mostly those who were both new parents and new homeschoolers who got way too into an educational philosophy :)
Right she's way too cute I need to leave now x_x lol XD
Totally accidental!
The dance class is in a room there. Unfortunately because of Corona, I haven't even seen the class :(
I think the difference in the "bad" for you guys is that there is a lot of activity, it isn't passive. Most of school is forced to go and sit through stuff that is wholly uninteresting and passive (depending on some conditions). It is hard to get motivated to work, when it is a job.
It is an issue for sure. I know homeschoolers who have done this and have screwed up. I also know homeschoolers who like the idea of home education, but not the work it takes. Again, screwed up. It is probably easier in some ways than many realize, but it also takes attention and intention to do it well.
I have been educated enough that I know I need to unlearn most of it :D
Oh that sucks about not having seen the class :< would you normally be able to watch if not for stupid virus? I guess being a room in the library they wouldn't have glass panels to peek through :S
Pretty much. It also makes it a right pain in the system to try to collect "proof of learning" at the age mine are at because even when you spell it out to them in a way that is nigh on impossible to misinterpret, they just don't see the point and they just don't want to engage in what they see as worthless and unnecessary work when there are many more interesting things to do (I know I like to complain about them gaming and watching random crap all the time but in reality there are also so many documentaries to watch, so many arty crafty things to make, so many thoughts to experiment with, so many head-universes to explore, so many friends to talk to about the most random things... XD)
That's always the first thing I tell prospective new homeschoolers, it's not traipsing through fields of daises XD Then after potentially terrifying them I'm happy to share all the fun stuff.
