*The TEACHER learns as much as the STUDENT in some cases. I now know why Wall Street is called Wall Street, what a pronomial adjective is, and why fish hear so well under water. And that is just this month.
*When your student has to go potty, the class stops. They don’t run the risk of having IMPORTANT MATERIAL shared when they are out of the room.
*Your student can do art class everyday if your family wants to, not every FOURTH day.
*When your student gets 7 out of 10 math problems WRONG you don’t need to go on to the next subject. You can do each one over again until the LIGHT BULB goes off!
*When the light bulb goes off, you can celebrate with a KISS and a HUG and not once worry about IMPROPER CONDUCT.
*We never have snow-days, but WE sure can have SUN-DAYS!
*You AND YOUR STUDENTS get to pick what books they read. And… it CAN be the BIBLE!
*We can vacation OFF SEASON and skip the crowds and get off season RATES. [If you don’t think this is big… um, it is!]
*My kids DON’T KNOW who Hannah Montana or SpongeBob are! This is very helpful in WAL•MART!
*We can drop everything to meet Nanny or Daddy for lunch at PIZZA HUT.
*When the teacher has a really bad day, she can hide in a closet and call the principal crying without worrying what it might do to her TENURE meetings.
HS mommies… please send me some of your own HURRAHS!
A Homeschool Hurrah
I was blue last Thursday and Friday.
They were REALLY BAD DAYS.
This was evidenced by the fact that at one point I sat on the floor, in the dark, in the pantry and cried my heart out. I was frustrated with God, frustrated with the kids, and frustrated with the mess, which led me back to being frustrated with God and His plan for my family. With a lot of prayer, both alone and with a fellow homeschool mom, and a God-assisted attitude adjustment I am mentally, spiritually and emotionally okay again.
At least for a while.
In honor of the cloud being lifted and my hope being restored I am chronicling some Homeschool Highlights.
