Homeschool kids play school
they even have a timetable and they stuck to the timetable.. (they must be French as there is no school on a Wednesday) Perriod one: Technology. The top photo is the big kids class where they got nets of cars to cut out and assemble. The bottom is the junior class where they made sculptures…
not doing my assignment
ooo don’t get me started on self-directed education, I might go on and on and on. That is not what my assignment is on. It is on something interesting that I have been enjoying reading about, and I enjoyed learning to use Canva. However, that is not what I shall be marked on. I totally…
Scary blank page
Today, I woke up after being sick for a while, and my brain was a buzz. When I was last sick, I wrote to a friend of my mother’s, and before I posted the letter she died. My mother and her were really good friends, one who believed in God and one who didn’t. They…
working together
I have been thinking about community. There are homeschool communities all over the local area. There is a bulletin board that advertises events that are coming up, but they are just the general things… To join one of the groups, you have to know someone.

What was I thinking when I worried…
I have hardly heard from my child for days. She goes into her room and communes with her (it’s now hers), laptop. “Who’d have thought writing was so addictive!” a quote! I was worried: writing, and I am sure there are other posts on me worring about her saying she wants to be a writer…
what happens at when I can’t see
H has been sick and spent a few days watching TV. This just happened to coincide with an interview on Radio New Zealand about how we don’t totally relax. I went with the whole mind-numbing TV thing until I was too restless and started some random projects, so my eyes were off the ball. H…
Homework
This is the kind of homework I approve of…. Self set showing thought and thinking of their game in the context of the wider world… The child who did this homework has been coming for years. They are charismatic, so very full of amazing ideas, such a leader… They told me they were bullied/teased at…
