As of right now, we have been homeschooling for about 5-6 months. As I reflect back, I have come to the conclusion learning and teaching is messy. If it requires glue, coloring, cutting and so on… The table, floor, and chairs become a colorful warzone. Sadly, I’m beginning to understand that this can be more messy then how the kiddos are normally playing.

“Why do people take or keep their children out of school? Mostly for three reasons: they think that raising their children is their business not the government’s; they enjoy being with their children and watching and helping them learn, and don’t want to give that up to others; they want to keep them from being hurt, mentally, physically, and spiritually.”
― John Holt
The last reason and the pandemic is why we started. Now though it’s more of the second reason as to why we are continuing. Though I will eventually give the boys an opportunity to return to public school once we think it’s safe, it will be their decision if they want to return and we’ll go from there. So far all the kiddos want to continue to be homeschooled.
