Home School Benefits

1 comments | Saturday, June 16, 2007

So, it's been a long time since I have written. I vow to now right every weekend that is reasonable.

Things have been great! I love the benefits of Home Schooling. The kids get along better, the consistency in my parenting is better and it's worth it to follow through. Of course, the hard part is the patience, but that is even getting better. I love the natural learning that happens and all the social that is now at a normal amount.

The kids have moved along so well with their math. Corbin (3rd grade) is now where Bryson (6th grade) was at this time last year. We use Saxon Math and Corbin just finished 5/4 and is now doing 6/5. He is noticing how you use math in so many things. Bryson's math is getting harder for him and he is complaining about it, but I am so proud of how much he is learning. Even with his Home Schooling starting later (in 5th grade) he is now ahead in Math (at 8/7). It's so great.

I love the books they read from the Robinson Curriculum. Bryson said he read one part in the Rover Boys 4 times the other day because it was such a great adventure.

To sum it up. There is no perfect situation with parenting and schooling, but this is so much better than a year ago. :)

Signed - The Mother! :)
