We are attempting too many subjects/books. Our days have been long because of it, but how do we cut back when I chose all of these resources? I want to do them all but there isn't enough time in the day. There have been a couple of times this week when we started school at 9am and still found ourselves plodding through "one more thing" at 5pm.
Note: I am like a private tutor. I sit by 11yo and guide her through her lessons. I don't hand her workbooks and send her off to work independently (I wish!). It is time consuming but this is what she needs at this time.
Every night I sit down with my notebooks and try to figure out a different way to do school, but every day I invariably get sucked into "list checker" mode again. Last night I wrote, "What if there were no deadlines?" It felt like a light bulb moment. Did it change today? No. I still spent the day trying to see how much we could cross off the list.
