The question is not, -- how much does the youth know? when he has finished his education -- but how much does he care? - Charlotte Mason
Education should be so much more than memorising facts, spellings, grammar and formulas.
Education is about growing as a whole person. It’s about learning empathy, compassion, creativity, problem solving, interpersonal skills, time management, self discipline, health, nutrition, how to run a household, self regulation and many, many more things.
If you’re homeschooling for the first time, please don’t worry your child is getting behind. The deepest and most enduring lessons don’t come from text books but from experiences and relationships.
