This is something I really started struggling with last year--when I 'lost' my one student. It made such a difference. She was just a year older than dd and the two of them were very self-directed--or together-directed. It left the boy to me most of the time. I know things would work so much better for him in Montessori terms if he were in a large Montessori classroom, but that's not going to happen!<BR/><BR/>Jane, I've replied.

I am a former home schooler turned school director (www.thenewclassicalacademy.org).<BR/><BR/>What I realize in reading this post and your last one is that for the most part each CHILD has up and down days. Thus, when you home school, one or two kid down days creates a down day in entirety whereas at school with 40 kids, every day a few kids can have down days but there are always plenty having good days which creates more of an overall contiuum of positive days which is much easier on the teacher/mother and on the kids. <BR/><BR/>So, I hope that you as a home schooling mother and educator can get some perspective from this on those "bad" days. It helps me. <BR/><BR/>I always enjoy your posts,<BR/>KateKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545080729176453286noreply@blogger.com
