Home school...charter school...cottage school...public school

Trained as a teacher, I have always known that the education of our children is serious business. I had no idea how consuming it would be. Today I observed a "cottage school". That is, a parent co-op of sorts that has other homeschooling moms teaching classes like Mandarin and Latin to 6-year-old students. Amazing but I'm not sure if that's necessary. I so badly want my children to love learning and know how to think. I just don't know the very best way to do that yet...what to do!

We have had an exciting year homeschooling. We began the "grand experiment" at our house in September. It has been fun and challenging and rewarding. Mostly, it has brought to surface my many, many control issues. It has been humbling. I think it has been good. I don't know if it is the best.

Wisdom...needed!
