Posted in Homeschooling

I came down this morning to find my 10 year old daughter working on her history. She hasn't been required to start yet, but she wants to get into it.

This is what I love about homeschooling. It not only gives parents the freedom to educate their children how they choose, but parents can pass the freedom down to their children, allowing them to indulge their love for learning. My kids actually look forward to homeschool!

Awwww...that is so encouraging, isn't it?!

Mine have been itching to do math and science, so I've let them start math...but the mean mommy that I am is drawing the line at science and history! bwahahahahahaha!!!

I can just see it now. You kids better behave or NO SCHOOL for another week!

Wednesday, August 30, 2006 - No Books For You!

Posted by SteveWalden

I hate to admit it, but we've actually had to restrict our older two from reading until they get certain things done, like school and chores. They don't read the Harry Potter stuff either. They cover everything from Beverly Cleary to biographies of famous Americans. What a difference it makes when your children enjoy school!
