Recently a homeschool mom whose family is struggling with illness asked for advice about planning for the next school year. One of the veteran moms who has been dealing with family crises of her own shared this gained wisdom:
"I've been reading Rafe Esquith's books, along with Outlier, by Gladwell and my big take-away.....school works! Sure, pedagogy is important, curriculum is better or worse, etc. but the bottom line is this: a good solid curriculum, applied reguarly, with time dedicated to school, will cause education to occur." Laughing Lioness
I have been testing the last part of her quote with my 8yo and what Laughing Lioness said is true. A little reading and math every day has made a measurable difference. She may continue to struggle, but every day we will plod along together down the path.
