Our kids began their HomeSchool year today. We’ve joined a co-op with other family’s to see how this type of thing will go. We’re excited. It was a lot of work. We went “school supply” shopping and everything. Marissa’s helping to teach one of the classes. The Art History class. This is where the co-op part comes in. Each of the mom’s get to teach the children in a different subject.
So, as we’re preparing Marissa, the Kids, and everything else for class it really made me think of how much I missed during school. Not that I have regrets. It’s just that I missed so much learning and living. Instead of loving school, I loved the social study. We’re trying to coach the kids into taking the opportunities their given and taking them to their fullest.
What must that be like? To go through school taking it seriously? Craziness.
One of my sister-in-laws did. Jayce. Straight A’s through highschool and college. Prestigeous job and a bright future. Not only did she do school right, but most of her experiences followed along the same lines. She had fun. She has real friends. She’s now established for a life of fulfillment and satisfaction.
I’m praying my kids will do the same from the start, by-passing my “learn-the-hard-way” heritage.
Do you know what I’m talking about? It’s so weird to get old. It’s hard to believe I’m telling my kids to do good in school and have fun learning!!!
Ben.
