J, I've been meaning to tell you to use my Foto Friday idea, if you want to. It's a great way to motivate me to get the pics on to the blog! Have Fun!!Lena Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00325443487227663333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35657237.post-81993437072603432222011-03-16T12:51:43.557-07:002011-03-16T12:51:43.557-07:00I'm so grateful to live in an area with excell...I'm so grateful to live in an area with excellent schools, both public and charter.<br /><br />I know home schooling would not be an option for me. I lack the discipline, patience, and time management required and I think my kids' learning would suffer as a result.<br /><br />I'm getting nervous for Maya to start K. She's very bright. I'm not really into the public school curriculum so I've been checking out other options. But the public school in our neighborhood is ranked highly with lots of awards so we'll see...<br /><br />Home schooled children do statistically perform better academically than public school kids. With that in mind, I've always wanted to do some kind of home schooling with my kids during the summers.<br /><br />Let me know how it goes! The curriculum sounds great!Janeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02908988206724231403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35657237.post-20775563757907034092011-03-15T15:09:53.054-07:002011-03-15T15:09:53.054-07:00:) That was good to read right now. We are looking...:) That was good to read right now. We are looking into next year for McKinley & are looking into all the options. There is public school, a Montessori Charter School, and home school. You'd better believe we will be doing lots of praying & going to the temple. Today we went to the Kindergarten registration at the public school. Not sure...<br />But one this IS for sure - we're homeschooling the rest of the year - and in the summer as much as possible. I needed a boost & your cirriculum sounds great. My biggest struggle is the age-old conundrum - I don't have the TIME to PLAN & so I my TIME is wasted because I didn't PLAN. I truly believe you are doing a great thing, though - and look forward to doing some fun activities together!Heidi Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757330001960147718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35657237.post-50379435768184146532011-03-14T08:15:43.605-07:002011-03-14T08:15:43.605-07:00I think that it's completely up to the family....I think that it's completely up to the family. You know whats best for your family. Whats good for your family may not be what is good for another. I personally would love to home school but I know that I couldn't give my kids enough attention with the little ones. I had a hard enough time trying to teach piano lessons with them and that was only for 10-15 min. Good luck! I hope the program works well for you guys.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865032714290059268noreply@blogger.com
