Thanks a million, @missdeli! I appreciate the compliment. It's not always easy, but it is worth it! I love the opportunity for growth and memories for my family. I do my best to remind myself why I'm doing this and it's because I won't set limits on my kids capabilities regardless of age/grade. We keep growing and learning daily. If it's an off day for a kiddo or 2 we will reconfigure, we don't just push through because of a schedule. The goal is consistent growth, some days my little guy's reading lesson isn't until 7 pm instead of 10 am because on that day he was ready at 10 am. I want to build a love of learning and interest, especially for my little guys.
For my high schoolers, they do have a "schedule", however, we created it together. Our goal is 3 day weekends if all work is done. Also being that we attend a co-op it helps keep me a lot more organized( I need that...lol)! It also lightens my teaching load, so I'm truly grateful for that!
You mentioned that thing I like the most in homeschooling: flexibility. Our family isn't the type of making things the same way, at the same time. Our lifestyle isn't to depend on things, people or places. Maybe it sounds hilarious or strange, but I can't explain this concept in just a few sentences:) but I guess you can make an idea already. This is one of the reasons we will choose home schooling, besides the benefits that home education offers. That's the first :)
Thanks for you wide reply! I really appreciate it. :) Have a great day!
I get it whole heartedly! With 6 different personalities and mindsets we can’t do things like the majority. We are traditionally different and get a lot of odd looks from our family and friends lol. We love them just the same. Best wishes in your homeschool adventure…count every moment a memory of joy🥰
Yeah, sounds soo soo realistic! lol :)) 🥰🥰
