What a better time to pull out of school ...I agree! What a better time to pull out of school entirely and homeschool! And to connect geometry to real construction is priceless! How much more sense will proofs make when you understand what geometry is used for?

I was surprised at how different the cities and cotton fields looked from what I had imagined in the school books I studied. And I will never forget my introduction to segregation; the conversation my Dad had with the motel owner about why the motel was "whites only", the separate hospital entrances.

We almost fell into that bookwork trap when we took our trip up the east coast of Australia in 2004 but realized how much 'real' learning was happening on the road. Fortunately, we'd just started homeschooling, so weren't accountable to anyone for dropping it all.<br />The saddest thing may be thinking of all the chances for child-led learning being missed during these hours set aside for the daily grind.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.com
