Home schooling would not be easy, but I'm sure it was rewarding. When I was six, we lived in Australia for six months and my school teacher mother tried to home school all four of us. We were so caught up in playing outdoors and experiencing new things that Mom didn't get too far with reading, etc. When I came back, I had to go to a "slow learners" room for a few months until I caught up. I'm sure they'd call it something more correct these days. I guess the moral of the story is that I remember Australia more than I remember learning how to subtract when we returned. I saw strange and amazing animals, held precious stones that my amateur geologist uncle had mined, tried new food, and met my grandmother for the first time. How do you beat that? <br />As I teach and as I raise our son, I'm always trying to remember that tactile experiences are important. Life is short.<br />Thanks for your kind remarks as always. If we lived near each other, we could drink tea and go African violet shopping.<br />All the best,<br />ErinToronto Yardsalerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665905682609904488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968052521342394107.post-77390794850740784322010-04-26T14:56:50.695-07:002010-04-26T14:56:50.695-07:00Well, well, well, a whole year old!

It's great that you got into the kid groove, because you know if you're looking for good kid stuff it will not be there. <br /><br />We homeschooled our boys, and I'm reliving lots of the fun we had with today's post. Before we had children I "knew" that everything kids did was learned, boy did I have a LOT to learn. Even though our boys had baby dolls that they adored, they still came out of the womb making engine noises. How is that?! (BTW my Hubby is a computer geek not a grease monkey.)<br /><br />I don't believe I've met "Boy Wonder" before. He's quite the fellow. Must be a charmer too. Have you ever had someone offer to blow up a jumping mat for you? Me neither.MomWaldsPlacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13203303302803775220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968052521342394107.post-52972535617381148352010-04-26T03:47:18.810-07:002010-04-26T03:47:18.810-07:00Ah, thanks!
