From the beginning, our goal has been self-directed learning by middle school, so I never really thought about it, but people really think this is going to be my biggest failure - High School. Regardless of the fact that my husband and I are highschool AND college grads - my bachelor's, his master's. And not in Underwater Basket Weaving either. We're fairly learned people, but people seem to think we have to know it ALL to keep our kids at home! They don't understand one bit of homeschooling. The fact that I learned more in my girl's 1st grade history and geography than I learned in all of high school. On how plainly some math concepts can seem when taught to a 1st grader (though I struggled with them for years). It's a beautiful thing, learning beside my children. Thank you for the encouragement!Lindsay and Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14047858321392546038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163008944016056003.post-26053746839420306492013-10-20T12:04:45.346-07:002013-10-20T12:04:45.346-07:00Thanks.

I believe it. But it's so good to be reminded by someone who has made it to the final leg. . .and that the someone is still walking the first part of the journey, too, makes it even better.@lici@https://www.blogger.com/profile/14947524046707789043noreply@blogger.com
