RE: The unexpectedly fun dad

in OCD4 years ago

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

It is hard to get motivated to work, when it is a job.

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)

I also know homeschoolers who like the idea of home education, but not the work it takes

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.
