So I understand what its all about and they really did have a great time. I really enjoyed it too. <br />I guess what scares me is whether I can cope with the sole responsibility of Barney 24/7. What if I'm worse than the school and totally screw it up? He can't handle change so I'd need to be 100% sure. I couldn't take him out of school and then change my mind.Venushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681354694377018222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3254818963038674619.post-72942586869023104142010-02-11T20:47:29.353+00:002010-02-11T20:47:29.353+00:00I was homeschooled.

I couldnt handle someone looking at me while doing homework because what if I was doing it wrong?! I couldnt handle that thought of failure. Getting homework handed back to us was the hardest part of the day, I would flip it right over and crumble it into a ball and shove it right into my folder and wouldnt let anyone see it, I coudlnt even handle to see it myself. Failure was not an option to me. <br />I loved being homeschooled. The school district gave my parents the required goals for the year and divided it out to how much work needed to be done daily. I was able to finish the required work in half the time the school took, and was able to study extra curricular activities!! I joined 4-h's for horse back riding, art classes, ect. <br />I plan to homeschool Maks. People have this assumption that homeschooled children are anti-social and dont have people skills... which is true if you literally never leave your home. But for me I was able to do SO MUCH MORE than a child in school, and I plan to have Maks involved in a lot of activities and to have him well rounded and exposed to the world! A road trip across the country can be done during the school year and count as a history class!Mrs. Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15644167344031331059noreply@blogger.com
