Freethinking Homeschool: Map Boy

Map Boy

The little dude took to his composition book for a drawing marathon last night before bed. This is what he came up with. This mama is mind blown. He didn't copy, trace, or even draw with a map beside him - this came completely from memory.

And I love how he numbers all of his composition book pages, ha! It's really nice to know that he was paying attention during our homeschooling and got this much out of it. As usual, I am super proud of him!

PS: OMG, what!? It's June!

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.
