That Susan Wise Bauer will give me panic attacks (or drive me to eat/drink too much to cope with not doing enough).<br /><br />My son has returned to Middle School (longing for his "geek tribe" that we can't find in rural MI), and my daughter is intrigued by the prospects Middle School offers. The deal is that they must put in a full year to "try it" and then they can come back home if they want. And oh, are we loosening up. I just could never schedule other people well, all the way back when they were breastfeeding infants until now. I just like to be left alone myself and tend to set up some assignments and let them putter away.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11288672545999106867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357415193462649988.post-63794437268472256142013-06-03T08:26:10.208-05:002013-06-03T08:26:10.208-05:00*hangs head in shame*

But only because I am a literature geek!<br /><br />One of my proudest homeschool-mom moments was in a co-op when I said something about needing to make bread, and everyone started in on their grains and mills and stuff, and I looked at them like they were weird and said "Are you kidding me? Bread machines were made to work so I don't have to!"<br /><br />The look on their faces was precious!<br /><br />I read every. Single. Book. Homeschooling, general education, psychology books on how people learn...<br /><br />You take from each what works and leave the rest behind :)Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671279669690776846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357415193462649988.post-58714107237701782582013-06-03T08:08:44.300-05:002013-06-03T08:08:44.300-05:00Wow.

I have a 4 year-old and have felt the urge to read everything that is out there, but gladly have refrained. It is a breath of fresh air to let go of the pressure to turn my son into a baby genius.

That ...I read Well Trained Mind...and that was it! That was all I read. I realized from reading it that it was most likely going to be like my parenting style, no one book was going to fit what I wanted. I am betting that is still correct. I did end up buying a literature based curriculum but it is so flexible that I can do just about anything with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
