i feel with both my kids - it is like a bottomless well that needs and wants to be filled, so the compulsion is to fill it, but then they become harder to serve in the school systems. what do you think of this issue?
I think you say it best - you can try to 'go wide' if you homeschool, but spending a lot of energy trying to keep them fitting in a school system (when they never fit in the first place) seems like a dangerous waste of everyone's energy. Of course I did as you are doing, and didn't like what I reaped.
When the compulsion is replaced by a dull eyed stare, and the child says 'Is this what you want Mommy, I'm trying to please you' It kinda rips one's heart out.
Any families you've met from DD's school that would join you in an informal mini-school for their younger sibs?
Love and More Love,
Grinity
