I am a homeschooling (unschooling) mother of 6. We are expecting another in May. My oldest child is a boy and he's 16. We have 5 girls, ages 14, 12, 10, 5 and 2.5. New baby is a BOY!! We'll be having another UA home waterbirth.
My kids have a very unstructured school day. I feel learning life skills is more important than vomiting information. I do have one child that attends public school. My 10 yr old is LD and has sensory integration disorder. I was finding it very difficult to teach her at home and decided that a public school would be best for her because they have access to tools and resources I just can't provide for her at home.
My son has Tourettes and homeschooling has been a blessing to him. It's hard to learn in public school when you have a disorder that is quite obvious and distracting. He has a great interest in computers and graphics design, especially video game design.
I'll be back to start blogging about our "school" activities. |
