The more I read about school, the more turned off I get.majikfaeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604747660164437868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294192932287033992.post-61251214863793637542010-03-22T18:14:56.329+11:002010-03-22T18:14:56.329+11:00Nice post!!

I never knew all that stuff about schooling being set up to keep kids out of the workforce - yet it makes strange and complete sense!! I haven't read the longer read or the book yet, but I'll get there. I'm learning so much about all this natural learning business!! I started off with just my own opinions and life experience, but now with the more reading I'm doing, as well as the observations I'm making about my kids and how they react when I try to 'teach' them, as well as their incredible memory retention for things they love, combined with the fact that they already remember NOTHING from thier two terms of school only two terms ago.......I'm amazed at how clear a picture I'm starting to get, and how beautifully they are all furnishing me with examples of my new found theories and philosophies!!! Thank you very much. I reckon you're an awesome woman, mother and intellect, and give you full honour and praise for your works:)Helena Posthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07442132139130785495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294192932287033992.post-69176095439663299152010-03-19T10:46:17.566+11:002010-03-19T10:46:17.566+11:00I completely agree!

Here in SEQ they can't even guarantee the physical safety of children at schools (several stabbing incidents this year so far, one DEATH, one kid hit by a car after running froma bully) So no WAY do I trust them with MY children. <br /><br />I do, however, realize that NOT everyone is lucky enough to be able to be at home with their kids :( And that even if they could, some would not choose to. <br /><br />And I'll take that miracle cure for insomnia as well, as soon as you come up with it ;)Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13101654851982990627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294192932287033992.post-30642874551827259142010-03-19T09:24:44.211+11:002010-03-19T09:24:44.211+11:00thanks karisma.

I agree with you totally. Othe...Great post my dear. I agree with you totally. Other than reading a short passage from John I have never actually read any books regarding homeschooling etc. (I might just have to read that book, been meaning to but have not had the time.)<br /><br />I have pretty much come to the same conclusion as you through my own experiences with both schools and homeschool groups and observing other families learning choices (which are each and every one so very unique, its wonderful). <br /><br />There are so many opinionated yet well meaning people out there who think its "their way" or nothing. They are everywhere, in school AND in homeschool groups. I have had the pleasure of running into them often in both situations. <br /><br />I think you have made great choices for your family and are giving LT loads of wonderful learning opportunites. Don't be too concerned about what others think. We can't please everyone now, can we?<br /><br />Hugs and smoochies xoxox<br /><br />PS... Now I don't suppose you have a miracle cure for insomnia up your sleeve do you? I have had about an hours sleep tonight and have failed miserably trying to get back there!karismahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529919522651147308noreply@blogger.com
