Homeschooling Lessons


I found this post on a blog called "Terri's Take" and thought I'd share.  As you start the new year, realize that even the most seasoned homeschoolers are not perfect, and don't have it all together.  We're all homeschooling by the grace of God!  I loved some of the lessons here - especially the ones that recommend coffee and/or chocolate! - Robin

Lessons I Learned from Homeschooling

by Maggie Hogan
Every child has a gift or two. Every child has a special need or two.
It’s not the method — it’s the time and the love.
It’s not the test scores — it’s the character.
It’s not a sprint — it’s a marathon.
Learning styles matter.
How to pick back up and start all over again.
Teenagers have so very much to offer.
To be open to new ways of doing, seeing, thinking.
That I am wrong much more than I’d like.
It is impossible to homeschool on my own strength.
