In Their Own Words
Share your children’s home education experience in their own words. What have they said about their education? What are their likes and dislikes? Share some stories, some quotes, or turn your blog over to your children for the day.
When I asked my six year old daughter what she thought about homeschooling, she said:
“I like learning at home.
I don’t think it would be fun learning at school. If I went to school it would take longer and I’d be away from you for a long time.
Sometimes it takes less time because you only have to teach two people instead of all kinds of people.
I like learning about math - you get better at paying attention.
When I cook, it’s actually a bit more fun than sitting at a desk. I like to cook with mom. I like to be the kitchen assistant. It is very fun. When I do it, I feel like a good help. I feel good when I help.”
When I asked her to describe what she didn’t like she said the following:
“Well...sometimes when I mess up a word in math or reading I get frustrated, but when you help me I feel better.”
That is the extent of our conversation. However, sometime last year Sugarbean told me that when she found a man to marry she would ask him if he wanted to homeschool the kids. If he said no, she would just find another man to marry!
I think she likes homeschooling. |
