We belong to a support group that's not too demanding and to the Family
Resource Center, which offers group classes and trips for homeschoolers
across Massachusetts. When the new newsletters come out, Julian looks at them
and decides what, if any, he wants to do. Usually there are at least a few,
mostly through the Museum of Science or MIT, or nature-y things. Some end up
being schooly, but he takes what he wants from them and ignores the rest.
He's gotten to do some things that you can't, unfortunately, do as
individuals, or other things it ould never occur to us existed but have
ignited passions. He hasn't done any of the more structured, ongoing classes
in a while. I'm glad.
