Thanks so much! I feel a little bit better. Sometimes I worry that I'm not doing this right. I know he is learning but I worry if it's enough. Thanks again!
Just needed to AAARRRGGGHHH!!! at people who understand. If effort were rain, this house would be dryer than the Sahara right now. Coming up with 3-5 questions and looking for information about them is not writing down 3 words with question marks next to them and then not bothering to look outside the book when you are given a list of 9 websites to consult.
Aaaarrrggghhh!!!!!
Thank you, I feel better and less inclined to pop her head off like she were a dandelion. I now return you to your hopefully more engaged children and wish you a better homeschool day than I am having.
I think part of the problem is her 5 day a week dance schedule (17-20 hrs a week depending on her performance team schedule), so she knows if she doesn't get it done before we have to leave, she can pick up where she left off the next day. I am tempted to buy a bell and put her on a time schedule like she would have in a school, but I don't want to stop her from the rabbit trailing where she really is engaged and learning a lot. And she would still have to finish the next day what she doesn't get done so all it would really do is frustrate us both even more! A lot of the kids do homework at the studio on their breaks between classes, but she only has a break on tuesday and it is difficult for her to do a lot of her work there because of needing internet.
This is why I love homeschooling. Finish it today or finish it tomorrow. As long as it is done by the end of the week, we are golden. Think of the skills your DD is learning. Prioritizing, going in depth on a schedule, and appreciation for what she has. We were there. My DD learned all those and much more. To this day she is grateful that she was homeschooled and could work school around dance unlike some of her dance friends. Her school never suffered. Now if I can get DS to the same place![]()
Me too!Me too! I'm excited and nervous...![]()
It seems like homeschool has made our last year last hectic than private school. I sat down and thought about it and realized we were spending two hours a day driving and dropping (schools let out an hour early for the preK). Never mind the lack of hurrying along my kids before they are properly awake. Has anyone else noticed this?
Does anyone know the date of the Student Seminar in Jan or Feb of 2015?
