Got the house cleaned up, dinner prepped and was researching a Thomas Edison approach to homeschooling on THIS SITE.
Thoughts anyone?
I got my list yesterday from this site and had a 'sticky note in my mind' to check it out. Although I do agree with MUCH of it, I'm not sure I agree with all of it. I don't know about letting my child learn on his/her own for the first 8 years of his/her life. Exploration and natural learning is HUGE, don't get me wrong, but my daughter has a natural desire to read. Should I not teach her? I love the Seven Keys of Great Teaching, but like I said, I'm not sure I agree with all of it.
I'm going to hunt around some more on this website and maybe see if our local library has any books about it. I'll probably take some from it (we're doing a lot of it anyway, focusing a lot on character qualities, making good choices and beginning leadership skills) and incorporate it into our family.
This is your chance to participate parents. I know you all check this blog. I can see the numbers. So, let's discuss! :)
