Just Enough, and Nothing More has a great post on unschooling. I am going to try to be more like that :)
I ask myself that question all the time, and so does my husband. I think they learn plenty but with no visible results on paper to present to everyone to prove I am doing a good job. Is that what it comes down to? Do I want praise for doing a good job? I don't think so. And I don't want it to be about that. But maybe I want to show everyone.."hey I can do it, see."
But it's not about me, its about them. These kids who get so excited about Star Wars, Princesses, Big Bird, and life. I wish I had the kind of passion they have for certain things. I think I have to redirect their passion so it involves the math book or the dictation...but no, if left to follow what they love, they will learn.....guaranteed.
