pps (lol) something I thought of after my two posts, that polarbear also touched on that is so important, is that the interests my DD has at home are not academically based, so to speak. There is no grading, competition, schedule...it's simply just learning for the sake of it. She quizzes us on the presidents, but she's in charge. She can sit upside down on the couch and read out fun facts and timelines. And I realize how little I know, and the way she teaches us is so personal and fun, I feel like I'm starting to get to know these famous men...it's so cool.
