What Homeschooling Looks Like (AHHT Edition)

On the eve of our 180th day of government-sanctioned home education, I'm in a reflective mood. We've seen our share of successes and failures during Year 0, and it depends on the day as to whether I'll admit to more successes or more failures. Taking charge of our daughter's education wasn't an impulsive decision, but it's proven to be an exhilarating and sometimes frightening one. However, the desire to provide the best possible education for our daughter continues to supersede everything else.

I'm often asked, as I'm sure all homeschoolers are, to describe a "typical" day. The questions I get aren't phrased that bluntly, but it's been my experience that curiosity and skepticism are at the root of them. I haven't yet formulated the glib answer that trips willingly off my tongue. If I could, I'd show them a few pictures instead.









Would I homeschool again? Absolutely. Would I homeschool the same way? Absolutely not. That is what Year 1 is for.
