-=-This site is to encourage and inspire home schoolers to find peace in
their home schooling journey. We'll share and discuss organizing your day,
balancing school and home, managing chores, teaching multiple children,
stress-free home schooling, renewing your spirit and avoiding burnout, disciplining
children, training children and raising children in the nurture and admonition
of the Lord. This site is open to all home schoolers willing to share how to
make home schooling a joyous undertaking. Specific Topics: Classical home
schooling, Calvert School and The Well Trained Mind. -=-

I found this blurb looking to see where this list had been linked lately. I
just want to talk about the ideas in the description, not about which list
it is (I didn't even look, just lifted this bit whole).

I should save this for my (too slowly) growing page on disrespectful
attitudes toward children. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that when the
author used the terms "peace," "stress-free" and "joyous," she meant for the mom,
not for the children.

What the kids get will be discipline, training and admonishment (after the
chores and teaching).

This is so common that people can write it and read it without thinking
about it, I think. The idea of really living WITH a child rather than in fear
of, in spite of, in martyrly resentment of, in control of, in opposition to, is
very, very different so I'm not surprised when people don't get it, but
without dismantling the old way, the new way has no place to be.
