Hi Everyone,

I havent been around much lately. Things are just soooo busy. Anyhow,
I have been homeschooling since Dec. and only unschooling since Feb.
I was just wondering how long do I just sit back and let her
(Kearstin-81/2Yog) "Deschool"? She just wants to watch T.V., shes up
till all hours of the night. And I noticed a great increase in
appetite and gaining weight!! (getting nervous) We go to the library
once a week and she gets alot of videos on animals and stuff like that
mostly national geographic. And I thought she wasnt learning anything
but Im getting nervous about all the hanging around so I started a
game of 20 questions in the car and she picked animals as her cat.
she did really good on exotic animals but couldnt figure out what cat
was? (maybe too obvious?) We have not covered any other subjects and
when I bring anything up she gets aggravated with me. We havent even
thought about testing yet, and even though my state (NH) is pretty
easy to please, it is getting late in the season and now Im afraid to
test her. Has anyone heard of the PASS Test and do you know anything
about it? I have noticed a big difference in her attitude which to me
aught to be good enough I thought that was a great feat. She lapses
into that "Cocky" attitude every once in a while but just a look gets
rid of it. and we are a little more like partners now , I think we
need a little more practice but were getting there. Well Id like to
hear from anyone one who has a hard time to be patient. And the
waiting game is giving me a.....(I dont know, something though)

Thanks Everyone
