Freethinking Homeschool: Birthdays

Birthdays

For their birthdays, the kids had a choice: big birthday parties with all the trimmings, or a new computer to share and a modest celebration at home with pizza and homemade cake.

I think they made the right choice. This should also make school go more smoothly, since they no longer have to share a computer. Not that it was a big issue at all, but this will be great incentive to get them to complete their Study Island requirements!

Happy Birthday, homeschoolers!

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.

Her creative and curious mind is always working on some exciting new project, and her compassion for others is absolutely inspiring. She is in 4th grade, and her favorite subjects are science, history, and art. She wants to be a nutritionist when she grows up so she can help people prevent and reverse diseases. She plans to create a small organic farm and share some of the foods at her job as part of her “nutrition therapy” plan.
