I was blessed today to read this article by Harvey Bluedorn, and thought perhaps you would also be blessed in the reading of it. Sometimes it helps to read articles such as these to renew our sense of purpose and energize our efforts as homeschooling parents. The homeschool journey can be incredibly discouraging, can it not? Our days are filled with busy management moments, and never enough time it seems to get every little thing accomplished. It is good to take a moment and remember why we are doing what we do.
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.
