I was psyching myself out about it. Found a place, sent in a down payment... couldn't go through with it. I have spent 5 years teaching other peoples kids in a school system I don't like or agree with. I wanted more time with my boy and I wanted to teach him so many things still and give him the start I had when I was his age. Now, I'm heavily considering homeschooling both of my kids because I can't see myself sending them to public school or paying a crazy amount of money for a private school. Thanks for telling me about this fictional family!healingmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10768269831486281976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467233175753661815.post-15326909570535750942010-10-08T19:44:05.991-04:002010-10-08T19:44:05.991-04:00This fictional family I have created out of the de...This fictional family I have created out of the depths of my imagination never had any intention of homeschooling. Both the Daddy and the Mama have educators in their families, the Mama was actually a certified teacher (until the Daddy told her she could stay teaching or stay married, but that's a whole 'nother fiction story...)<br /><br />And that Miss Jo? Well her demeanor changed SO MUCH for the better that (entirely fictional)people who see her only once or twice a year immediately noticed a difference. She seems so much happier! That's the little girl I remember! I can't believe it! <br /><br />And the Daddy and the Mama have learned some significantly more gentle parenting techniques which have made everyone's life better. When they remember to parent with those techniques, naturally.<br /><br />And Kimberly... I would love to find our more about your work with fun math.

"She is hiding under the desk!".She has sensory integration disorder. I took her out until she was nine and went back with other children from a home school group.
