As Spring Break Comes to Close

As spring break comes to close and we are all facing the school week once more, we have all softened to the idea of home school. Even my most resistant kids are softening. Kate has said, "Why can't we just start home schooling now?" I have never liked the school schedule and rush and homework. I have never liked sending my kids away for so many hours of the day. I feel relieved that we won't have that next year. I know home school will not be all easy and nice and fun times. I know that this home school idea may just be the Lord's way of teaching me patience, but at least we won't have to wake up before 8am!

Will only 2 of your children be doing homeschool or have you decided to do it with all of them? We are looking into homeschool for one of my children, my 9 year old son. Currently my 5 year old does the ABEKA homeschool program which we have streamed through the computer. She has a "teacher" and a class she belongs to and we love it. She will be going to Public School next year though because she wants to :)

We are just going to home school all of them. I know that if we do one, all of the others will see who gets to stay home all of the time and really fight about going to school. I am trying to get the 3 oldest signed onto an online charter school. I don't think I could teach 5 grades when I have never done it.

We are probably doing online charter school, K12, next year. Keep me posted on your decision since we'll kind of be venturing into this together :)

Wow, if by being such a good mother to eight children you don't think you're already patient enough, then perhaps you should homeschool. Just say goodbye to all of us before you're translated! Seriously, you are a good example to me.
