I love learning. Is it useful? Am I good at it? I don’t know but I love doing it. There is not enough time in this life to learn all the things I would love to learn. There is especially, not enough time to teach my children all the things I would love them to know.
I heard it said, “Learn to do something with your mind and your hands.” I believe that statement.
Homeschooling and self education journey that my family has been on is a collection of both the mind and the hand. It is a great pleasure watching as “the people” learn a programming language; knit a sweater for the winter months; learning a language to communicate with someone who does not speak English or cooking a fantastic meal from scratch. There are many things to education besides the limited version we are taught.
One of my goals is that we are a family of lifetime learners and we will share the things that we have learned with others.
