It has been two years since I home schooled but I have returned with two standards that I faithfully kept before:
1. Never complain about homeschooling. My reasons for homeschooling were not typical. But the reasons that put us on this journey are still important to us. So if I complain then my children will feel that they are not worthy of my sacrifice for them. And they will hate homeschooling too.
2. Field trips are not a day off. Field trips need to have a purpose.
Right now in Nate's 4th grade history he is studying the explorers and has reached Christopher Columbus. And the Nina and the Pintail are docked in Louisville!
What an amazing field trip!
