Freethinking Homeschool: Europe

Europe

Tonight, my 5 year-old son randomly comes up and holds up his magnetic drawing board and says, "Hey mom, look! These are some places in Europe."

Uh...wow. I realized by some of the misspellings, one of which he caught and corrected before showing me, that he had done this from memory. I guess he is really paying attention to the History lessons!

Something else my Little G did today that melted my heart was quoting his current favorite book (This Plus That, Life's Little Equations), "Did you know that every star in the sky plus the sun plus the moon times my heart equals love you to the infinite power?" Yes, little dude. I did know that. Because I feel exactly the same way about you.

Disclaimer

My views on traditional schooling aren't rosy, and I express my opinions on the topic regularly. That said, I don't berate parents who choose that path by choice or out of necessity. My opinions may be strong, but I will still do my best to respect yours. I believe parents should be supportive of one another, not competitive. Competition is not a goal of my blog; these are merely my opinions and experiences. The traditional public education system is broken, not the teachers, the parents, or the children.
