Discussion
Yes
Have you heard of homeschooling though?
Fwiw I am radically pro-homeschooling. Just doing research on other things. Hot topic for the average house of late.
I don't have an answer, but I'm listening in as someone kicking around homeschooling.
Daughter goes to Montessori school and we love it. Plan on enrolling our younger when she's old enough.
I have two in Montessori currently. Hot debate on going regarding education so i'm doing so asking around.
A doctor once told me that my oldest child (ADHD and a bunch of other things) would never leave home. She’s 30, has a full time job, lives with a serious boyfriend and served in the military. My younger sons went to Montessori from preschool through high school. AMA
Did the oldest go to traditional school or Montessori?
The oldest went to public school, but I would’ve sent her to Montessori if I knew better back then. She’s quite a bit older than the younger two. We did practice a lot of Montessori techniques with her at home. Allowing her to do self-directed work became a reward. For example, in our house once a week, we practiced family cleaning day. Her job was to clean the fridge. She could put her headphones on and get lost in the task for hours. It was very soothing for her to focus on a single task. However, if we gave a multifaceted task like clean your room, we would have to pop in all the time and give her direction and she hated it. In order to gain cooperation from her on various things throughout the week it eventually evolved into.” I won’t let you clean the fridge on family cleaning day unless you do the thing I’m asking you to do right now.” Every kid is different and it was a slow observational process on our part as the parents to learn how to direct her focus on things she wouldn’t be resistive to in order to teach her good habits that carried over into adulthood.
Thank you for sharing.
Homeschool. You know it’s the answer
