Brother #1 and brother #2, both of whom are homeschooled, heard talking the other day about some friends who recently left home to go to boarding school:
#1: “Boarding school is a terrible idea! Imagine living at school?!?”
We home schooled our kids for some years, and several of our grandkids either were or are being home schooled. I went to a boarding school for missionaries’ children for 5th through 8th grade and loved it, but each child’s experience is different. I enjoy your blog.
I have been blogging here since around April 2011 - my little place on the blogosphere to express myself creatively. As a teenager I used to write a diary - in fact, as a 17-year-old living in Belgium, I wrote religiously every day. Fortunately the Internet didn't exist back then because my ramblings as a teenager were ever-so-slightly dark, cynical and depressing. You won't find much of that here. Also, mostly, I try not to get too deep or philosophical in this forum - I'd like my photography to uplift and inspire, and, where I can, I try to bring a bit of humour into my writing too. I've been fortunate enough to travel extensively and have made many friends across the globe. This is my spot to keep in touch with them.
You may know me in the blogosphere as "madderinmada", "Rambling with a Cantankerous old mule" or "Vicissitudes of a Cantankerous old mule". But that's all changed and here I am living life from behind my camera lens.
I miss the days of homeschooling my girls…they are now off at college and I’m left to teach my dogs some new tricks.
For someone like me in the thick of it all……it is very encouraging to hear that you miss homeschooling!
haha. classic.
