About the Reader
William Sutherland is probably one of my least favorite readers. His words are hard to understand; he reads really slowly, and pedantically. We did enjoy this audiobook; well at least the children did. My husband and I had a very hard time getting through it; and ended up taking to the hallway before bedtime so that we didn't have to hear it! The car was just too close of quarters for that voice. The children have listened to it all the way through at least twice.
The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
