Last week was just crazy. I had class on Wednesday night and again on Friday night. Its a speech class, so I had to take it inseat. The first speech was an introduction speech, I got a 5/5. This last speech I got a 96/100 with two of those points being deducted because I went over my time. I'm supposed to write a one to two page essay on things I can improve on. I have her grading sheet to look at but I'm not realy sure that I can get a whole page written about saying a couple of uhm's.
Saturday I went to an all day seminar regarding Thomas Jefferson education. It was very interesting. I can definitely see how I can install some of its concepts into our home. I will not however, do it all. Its a little too like unschooling to me in some ways. I need to be in control.....type A and the need to ensure a good education does that to me.
Yesterday I spent cleaning, doing laundry, and doing homework. Not something I like to do on Sundays, but I ran out of time with this crazy week. Have a wonderful week everyone!!
I have to agree with you on TJED, I can't do ALL of it either. My son definitely works better with a more structured way of learning.
ReplyDeleteI believe in the philosophy of TJED though...leadership instead of whatever you want to call non-homeschooling.
Uhm...good...uhm...post. Ah...yep, that's about it.

ReplyDeleteOh, and we would be more than happy to have your family roll up in your camper. Although, weare a ways away from where your grandfather grew up.
Funny thing, you and I have had so many things in common, the camper deal, traveling the U.S. is something I want to do also.
