Daring to Drop Out

I thought this was great, though it could just be because I could have written it 15 years ago.

 

It was a great article. Thanks for sharing. The girl is a great example of how much can be learned without having to take a formal class.

 

I applaud the writer's courage in going against the grain. Good article.

 

This article really inspired me. I am new to homeschooling my DD5, and I am finding it hard to venture from the workbooks. But after reading this, I asked my daughter what she wanted to learn for science this week, she said she wanted to learn about dogs. So I spent last night setting up daily lessons about dogs for the week.
This is a big step for me !!!
My daughter was so interested in her science lesson today that we actually went through 2 days of lessons!!!
I am stepping outside my comfort zone :lol:

 

Go Katie go!

 

cool article. Thanks for sharing it.
