RE: May/June Homeschool Miscellany

in Home Edders3 years ago

If I was ever imprisoned I'd fruit-sculpture myself a master key and break out.

Hoe many hours a day do you spend home-schooling? Like, over a week for instance. I imagine it to be more time-efficient than traditional schooling.

Sort:  

🤣

It's kind of a never ending process. I guess if we actually paid attention to the actual school curriculum and if we had any desire whatsoever to sit down and actually do it we could probably cover the year in maybe a term.

We're all over the joint as far as the curriculum goes though, there's stuff that's apparently covered in primary school and first years of high school that we haven't gotten to or are otherwise disregarding and they started a lot of the high school stuff well before they "should" have.

I haven’t been actively teaching them much after they learned how to cross reference, we're mostly in voyages of discovery together and trying to provide opportunities to do things and sometimes making them do things as they’re at a stage where they would rather not do something in case it turns out boring and they’d rather spend the time doing something they know they’re going to enjoy instead 😑

But some weeks (or months) we’re insanely busy and active and other ones we appear to be really slack 😅 so kind of hard to give an average sorry 😅

Figured.

Seems like you're on top of things and they'll benefit from how you're going about it. Most of what I learned was outside of a primary or high school class room.

I am so not on top of things 😅 I’m doing my best, they have to do stuff too 🙃

They'll probably blame you whether they turn out ok or not so yeah, best not to worry.

RoFL! I am quite sure that they will XD

It's inevitable. I blame you for me being a fuck up and you didn't even raise me!

BAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAAAA yeh that would be a neat trick seeing as I think I'm younger than Taraz XD

I believe a kiwi fruit would be your best option but you may need to freeze it or it would mush up the lock.

You know, great minds think alike as the kiwi fruit was my first thought when contemplating my hypothetical prison break and what fruit might be best to fashion a key from.

From my point of view, home schooling is much more efficient than education in formal institutions, this from the consideration of the flexibility of schedule, amount of hours invested, personalized attention and use of creative strategies. As for aspects such as socialization, as some people point out, this is guaranteed through extra activities outside the home such as sports, arts, among others. For me homeschooling is a wonderful option. And if you could make a skeleton key out of a banana, although they are stronger for apples and pears ha ha ha ha.

I don't have an opinion on home schooling as I don't have children but I think it's something I would certainly want to investigate if I did.

I also have no need to break out of prison, but I'll bank your apples and pears skeleton key idea away against the day the need arises! 😁
