Ya know, I really should learn how to do the Blogroll thingey. It would save me some time and trouble. I read the "school@home" almost daily and then from there I follow her links to a favorite site or two and then from those sites follow their blogrolls to more and more interesting blogs to read until I've wasted over an hour and supper is late or dad's home and nothings done or the kids are having a meltdown from lack of parental attention and far too much xbox while I'm reading all these fascinating homeschooling blogs.
Not much going on in our house, well schoolwise that is. I mean, how much can I write about workbooks daily? Not much. I hate them, the kids tolerate them, the husband loves them. The only good thing about them is that it keeps DH happy, the kids are learning a little from them and I suppose it builds character for both them and me by having to do them even though we don't like them. Fortunately they can get them done in less than an hour so that frees up the entire day for living.
We have been talking about highschool here lately. I have no idea what we're going to do when that time comes. I figure we'll need to seriously start looking into what we want to use in January and have it picked out and ordered by say, March or April. Oldestboy expressed interest in video school which is a fine idea except the only one I know of is Abeka. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing. I don't mind using a christian curriculum at all except I wonder how scientific the science is. I like a balanced view, if possible. I mean, I get mad at secular science for totally leaving the possibility of a creator out of things and I also don't like a totally christianized view of science either. Some of what I've read of that is as far out there as secular science. I dunno. I'm not hard to please, am I? :)
