I just started looking into her books. I am graduating one child this year and the next oldest will be a junior. However, I still have 2 younger ones in middle and elementary school and I want learning to be fun and engaging. I am afraid my older two missed out on that in those early years.
Her teachings helped me realize how do-able homeschooling really is.
I have not read her books, but the quotes posted last night were very inspirational, especially the one about letting children read without asking literary questions. My oldest is only in kindergarten, and I’m already guilty of that! I think reading her books would be a great help in our homeschool.
I loved her philosophy of teaching. She had a way with encouraging me that I could homeschool my children successfully.
I love her approach to education, a more natural and intentional way of raising our children and educating them at the same time, not focusing on the “test taking” success
