Dude (and others!), in your experience, how important is creating a prepared environment that invites discussion/child-led exploration to a homeschooling (even after schooling) family? Your comment about the US presidents chart stood of because that is exactly the sort of media I'm beginning to incorporate informally into our home. I don't draw attention to it, but I do engage in discussion when interest is piqued.
I wouldn't say it's at all important in our household, just because an 8yo doesn't really need to know too much about the presidents. And if it wasn't that chart, it would be something else capturing her interest. You can't stop this kid from being curious about
something.
Now that you're making me think about this, I suppose if there was something that I wanted her to be curious about, putting up some media would be a good way to go about it.
