Me, too!
One nice thing is that as they get older, once you've set up a set of good boundary conditions, you can kind of let them do their own afterschooling to some degree.
DD's interests/obsessive learning activities within the last week include:
a) acoustics of musical instruments
b) the Cremonese school of viol manufacture
c) acoustics more generally
d) ADA and ADAA
e) separation of church and state
f) Southern Poverty Law Center
g) Office of Civil Rights-- DoEd
h) The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and the art of civil disobedience with a purpose.
i) adding to her DeviantArt collection of postcards/typography with a new theme of civil liberties.
This in her "free" time.
Which, when highly motivated by a passion, can be significant. It's only 11:30 and in just 2.5 hours, DD13 has done two lessons in AP Physics, five German lessons, and an essay draft for AP Lit.
Since 9, I mean.
She's quite happy.
