Every year about this time I am ready for a break. I noticed a few years ago that by the end of February I do not really care anymore if anyone's math answers are right. I also don't care if we ever eat another meal. Or wear clean clothes. It is all just too much trouble.
One problem with homeschooling academically-inclined high schoolers is that you cannot just go all relaxed for long. If they want credit for completing course work, then the drudgery just has to be done. And, actually, I do not think there is anything really wrong with a certain amount of drudgery. I sure am hard-pressed to consider many household tasks anything else: why should schoolwork be different?
So we finally got smart and built in a week off in the spring... unfortunately, that week does not come for us till the week before Easter. The good news is by then the end will be in sight for the year as we finish in May. The bad news is holding on till then.
I think it's an Ides of March thing. Et tu, Ludusdomi? Maybe I should go stick a knife in the calc book...
