Homeschooling

Been doing a "school" schedule for about a month now. It's not perfect but is going pretty good. Both kids are progressing alot. I'll write more about that another day, but for now I just had a conversation I wanted to write down...

Today Makenzie and I were watching an episode of "18 kids and counting" on homeschooling. In the episode the Duggar family visited a public school to read to kids. When Makenzie saw how many kids were in a class she was appalled. She said "Mom, that would take at least 11 or 12 teachers to teach all those kids!!" I said "Well, they only have one, sometimes two." She said "There is no way you can teach those kids what they need to know with only a couple teachers."

Since Makenzie has been asking to go to public school with her friends, I then asked her if she would want to go to a class that large and sit at the desks like they do. She said "Mom, I would never learn anything that way with only one teacher. I do not want to go to school." That made me feel so good, and reassured me that I am doing what God wants us to do.
