Last weekend we visited some in-laws we haven't seen in years. One of them, a retired teacher, was curious about our homeschooling methods for the 10yo and the 12yo.
"How do you know they're getting enough basic skills?"
"We-ell, in the car on the way here they were fighting over Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi."
*blink* "Oh. Okay, then. But what about art?"
The art bag's in the trunk. We do art at least once a week and "art out' once a month. We're going to stop on the way back home somewhere and find some pictures to make."
"Plein air! I've always wanted to do that!"
And another win for homeschooling.
Awesome and gentle way to carry your point. Congrats. :)
