homeschooling

i am so fed up with the IDEA online school. we are going to continue through the end of the school-year. but after that, we are going solo.

my contact teacher is extremely upset that taylor and shannon are not making the amount of progress that she expects them to. education is individual. they are making progress. although, it's not entirely their fault.
when the teacher is sick, and there is no sub to call, what do you do?
the migraines have made it impossible some days to make sure that school gets done.
but, she continues to NOT take that into account. that's extremely frustrating!!

a few years ago, a good friend and i were both looking into homeschooling. while i had just started doing research for it, she had done almost all of hers. she graciously shared hers. as life kind of exploded on us at that time, it wasn't a feasible move to made at the time. however, she did give me a disk for a program that she'd purchased, but wasn't going to use.

this last christmas, i was ready to put everyone back into public school, and just be done. however, the events leading to that decision were not normal. ashley was home for the break, we had family visiting, and half of us were sick. not a normal time. shaun then found this disk that had gotten lost. i decided to look at it again, and see what had excited me about it in the first place.

it was EXACTLY what i had been looking for!!!

i have already started putting some of stuff into our school day.

i need some time to get prepared, so that's why we aren't fully starting this until the fall.
