Thoughts for Homeschoolers
Homeschooling in Action
Children are given to us - on loan - for a very short period of time. They come to us like flower seeds, with no pictures on the cover, and no guarantees. We don't know what they will look like, be like, act like, or have the potential to become.
-Katherine Kersey, in "Sensitive Parenting"
Homeschooling in Action
We're not trying to do School at Home. We're trying to do homeschool. These are two entirely different propositions. We're not trying to replicate the time, style or content of the classroom. Rather we're trying to cultivate a lifestyle of learning in which learning takes place from morning until bedtime 7 days each week. The formalportion of each teaching day is just the tip of the iceburg.
