I'm glad there are resources out there to take some of the stress out making the transition. :)<br /><br />I had to laugh at your daughter's logic. Even though my child never exercised it on a teacher, I remember having a talk with Miss Rosalinda about her behavior toward a girl at her daycare. She matter-of-factly informed me that they had been taught the golden rule and since the girl had treated Rosalinda that way, she obviously wanted the same treatment in return. *forehead smack* It took some effort to not laugh at her seriousness.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy your summer as well! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16070360813373974226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891739414197485676.post-69940239158851869412013-06-30T17:47:32.752-05:002013-06-30T17:47:32.752-05:00Your start of homeschool sounds much like ours. I...Your start of homeschool sounds much like ours. I pulled my daughter from public school in the middle of 1st grade because they decided that a)they were going to fail her in 1st grade because she was immature, and b)because of her behavior their choices were to paddle her or suspend her. Her "behavior issues" came to a head when she asked the teacher if the busy work she was handing out was for a grade. The teacher told her no, it was to keep them busy until lunch. My daughter (remember she was in 1st grade) told the teacher if it wasn't important enough for the teacher to grade, it was not important enough for her (my daughter) to do, crossed her arms and refused to do any more work. Of course, there were many, many meetings with the school and teachers, and the guidance department. I knew that homeschooling was going to become the only viable option, and it terrified me! I found a curriculum (Time4Learning) that not only made me comfortable but thrilled my daughter and we jumped in to homeschooling head first! Like you, we have never looked back, in fact, I cannot imagine any other way of educating my daughter now. Thank you so much for sharing! It is always wonderful to hear success stories, especially from those who didn't start out homeschooling! Happy summer!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784646366110943578noreply@blogger.com
