Curriculum Slave Indeed!
Well, I am sad when I read the "curriculum slave" blog I posted a long time ago. My husband finally got into the game of homeschool decisions last fall. Together, we decided to use Switched on Schoolhouse curriculum. This decision came from our son needing to develop some independence and responsibility, and me needing a break from being totally responsible for everything we did each day and having to hover over him while he worked.
A few words about the curriculum: Alpha Omega's Switched On Schoolhouse curriculum is a wonderful program. It is a software program that lets the parent set certain options and it does the rest. My son has learned soooo much!
I will just say that I miss my son. There never seems to be time for the cuddling, the picnics, the reading to each other. I really miss it! My husband is bent on following the computer's calender of when lessons are due. I guess I did more homeschooling than even I realized, because now I miss certain aspects. I am going to have to recover what I lost here. I just can't stand it!
Just venting!
