Because I haven't begun formal schooling yet and still fear *failure* as a home educator, this post was critical for me to read.

And, I too was inspired by Theresa's post and wrote to this subject recently.<BR/><BR/>One of the greatest gifts of homeschooling, I find, is simply time: time to grow and change as a family, time for each child to make his or her own way, each according to their needs, time to learn what makes for a good day, and what is best avoided.Lideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05639247123614128212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-69424399036533893912007-04-23T16:06:00.000-05:002007-04-23T16:06:00.000-05:00Good post, Karen.

My eldest, who I always thought needed structure, is increasingly unschooled (and because it looks so unlike the education I would plan, I can't help wondering if this means uneducated). Then my 8yo, who I thought might be a natural for unschooling, is getting more and more structure. Changes here seem to be turning our home education on its head. Perhaps I just need to look at it day by day. Was today a good day? Hmmm. Need to think about that. Perhaps I should be writing a blog post too.The Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139740404665123205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-17500970017563685572007-04-23T15:33:00.000-05:002007-04-23T15:33:00.000-05:00I can relate so well.Today (with my lack of sleep ...I can relate so well.<BR/><BR/>Today (with my lack of sleep last night) we did absolutely no formal schooling.<BR/><BR/>But my oldest read "Quanah Parker" and then played shipwreck with my 2 year old.
