When I get discouraged

[Ava]

I realize that it's time to get back to the basics and go to the resources that will help me. I was going through some sites and found an article that I thought might also help anyone here who might need that encouragement.

I especially appreciate that the author emphasizes that true education starts with we the parents and that we need to understand what education is and isn't.

Thanks for sharing. I needed that. Today my daughter told my Dad (who completely disapproves of my choice to HS) that she is learning a lot, but "sometimes Mom forgets to do my school." !!! Keeping in mind that on these days when we weren't soing her "school" ie - formal curriculum, but were outside learning about seeds and plants, visiting an apple orchard, etc. But boy, that was all he needed to reaffirm his views that I am ruining my child.:doh
