I used to say that homeschooling makes for a lot of disruptions and interruptions. Two days are hardly alike. But as a homeschool mom once said to me when I thought I could not do Epic Adventures w/ the homeschool group because I had a baby under a year old, she told me, "Sometimes the baby IS the lesson." And she is right. Life is the lesson all day long.
It’s a lot of ebb & flow but nothing stays the same for too long, which is good but not so good, at the same time. Our children get to see how we react to interruptions & crises and I think knowing that helped me to get my act together. 😊
All the talk about schools being the way to get kids to experience the real world is pretty stupid when you think of it. The school world is insular.
Excellent point! Sitting indoors for 6-8 hours. As a student myself, I remember I knew how "stupid" it truly was. I'd rather be outside all the time. But also, homeschooled kids get to do real life at the same time, and most times, real life is the lesson.
