Here's a quote that I stumbled across - it gives all of us with children something to think about when deciding their educational experience: "The philosophy of the classroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next." - Abraham Lincoln Kelly,

There are far too many of them out there - and I think I used to be one ;o) On Wednesday night family Bible Study at church we just had a discussion about the 'why' of homeschooling and talked about goals we have and should have - great stuff!

My computer connection has been back and forth all day or I would have said more! I actually was worried that I sent it twice. (The second one is floating in cyberspace somewhere!) One of my favorite quotes from the section on "Teaching Them to be Self-learners" is: "To be taught that my knowledge is limited only to what another can teach me is, at best, depressing! But it is also wrong." And my last favorite quote that I will share from Kelly's book is a great one: "With life-learning, there is no start or finish, no taking off, no being behind....just a constant readiness to learn something else." Yep, I am ready to wave at the buses again! My children are learning right here together with me! You bet, Kelly!

I was just thinking today how God just gifts some people natural abilities and homeschooling is such a great way to hone those. He is only 5 so obviously not a professional, but you can't deny the natural rhythm that NONE of us have in the house! My kids speak Spanish and sometimes I think, well...they might not be the best at "this or that" but hey...they're bilingual and love God!
