Education's Journey

We all have them....right? Sometimes they just last longer than others. You know, moments when you have a hundred things you'd like to share, but when you sit down to put them to words....they all vanish!?! Well, I've had a summer full of those. I quit my day job to be able to spend more time with my kids...but am still in search for that extra time that was promised:)...

We spent the summer "growing up"...the kids went through their rooms, and their mutual areas of the house...they got rid of everything that seemed to "babyish" for them right now...It was GGGRRREEAATT! But exhausting. We then were able to go out searching for things to fill that space back up...things at their current levels and a little above. So the next few months will be a bit of a transition time, as they explore their new things, figure out things that are too easy, too hard, and search for things to bridge the gaps.

This should give me ample ideas to blog about. One regular topic you can look for is "Today in the life of an unschooling family". A day in the life of an unschooler can be drastically different from day to day. So I figured I would periodically journal an entire day...then post it here...I hope to include the very eventful days, days of social interaction, days of solitude, uneventful days...and everything in between. This should help those out there still investigating the philosophy get a clear understanding of it...However, we are just one family, with only four kids at home...each family's days will look different than another's. So....
