Well, it is going to be nice now that my SW is home from teaching school, and our kids are here, and I work on the computer from home. I was out looking at "The Big Dig" (as my SW calls it), and overseeding some grass seed in the front yard, and just came in to see if TI has been functioning without me for the past hour, and the kids are playing a word game in the living room with my SW... They are laughing and having fun, and better yet, they are using their brains in the process...
This is what home schooling is supposed to include! Of course, academics cannot be replaced with games, but the desire to think and have fun while doing so makes true "learning" much more efficient than trying to shove knowledge into their heads like sardines back into the can... Not sure that is a very pretty word picture, but that's just about what it's like when you're trying to force them to learn!
Thank you, Dawn, for being willing to give up your career to turn to this precious chapter of our kids lives... I am glad that your God-given abilities and your training mesh perfectly for this difficult job of schooling our children at home!
