Helen,
I want you to know your post is very encouraging. I wish I had known about homeschooling when I was a child. My mom always had tons of great books in our house and most of what I really learned back then I taught myself from the materials I had available at home or the library. School was wasted time for me. We have been homeschoolng for three years and I recently discovered unschooling. I have been devouring every bit of information I can find. My husband doesn't quite understand yet and is afraid our kids will be "left behind" if I don't push their lessons. (We have a ten year old reluctant reader). I will be sharing your post with him in hopes that he will learn to trust in his children's ability to learn what they need to be successful with their lives. Thanks again.
Johanna
