I app...Hi, Miss Andrea...Rose from Mcdonough here. I appreciate your thoughts on this. The last year I did homeschool, Ben was doing it independently. We worked toward that since 3rd grade when I saw how a mother had worked with her child for hours in 11th grade, even on weekends, for her to get her homework done. I thought back then, 8 years ago, I would rather not have Ben be dependent on me AT ALL when he turned that age. If he couldn't do the work without me, fine...let him flunk out because he wouldn't deserve it. (I didn't know he would be homeschooled, at the time he was in school.)<br /><br />I think an independent spirit is the most important thing we can give our kids, because no one is going to do their work for them as adults. ( I think bosses would tend to frown on moms showing up at jobs.) We have to attempt to give our children every advantage we can to prepare them for adulthood.<br /><br />And you know, like everything else, you have to start young.<br /><br />GOOD for your daughter. She is lucky to have such a wise mom! And you are lucky she is so independent!Usethebrains Godgiveyouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026223483117357541noreply@blogger.com
