Yes, my child...I love the way you do your home ed.<br /><br />Yes, my children are, apparently, too wild and virtually unbearable to live with for long too.

There crime was taking off their shoes and paddling in a stream (OK so the 2 year old actually stripped naked and caught a tadpole in his butt cheeks but the observer didn't know that.)<br /><br />Faced with the choice of a worksheet or woods, I'll opt for naked paddling any time.kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708429699005394771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-63449859555107763152011-05-08T11:14:28.082-07:002011-05-08T11:14:28.082-07:00Ain't nuffink like taking the kids to the wood...Ain't nuffink like taking the kids to the woods... I am horrified at how tight their schedules are, particularly in Britain. If I had any offspring, I wouldn't want to see my teensy- tiny 5 year old in a uniform- what's that gonna teach them? Shut up and fit in, otherwise you'll stick out like a sore thumb- what a negative metaphor in itself!<br />I started school at 7 yo (Germany) and I remember stuff like painting, knitting, gardening, cooking and whatnot. Uniforms my arse! I certainly see why they might have their uses, but altogether I WOULD want my kids to stick out. And speak their minds, rather than dull down and function.I don't expect any more respect from children than what I give them. And with all respect I can muster for whoever wrapped that oil bottle... you're way over the top there, stranger! ;)lisbonlionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199372003999708772noreply@blogger.com
