Yet another bonus to Home Ed: teaching in a style that suits the individual :)Lisa Gwinnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217510693331174728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590150121803751861.post-47925345205688525322013-05-18T20:01:50.461+01:002013-05-18T20:01:50.461+01:00I've lost count of the times I've told peo...I've lost count of the times I've told people that I've learnt more teaching the children than I ever did at school! We have been to a Tank Museum today with the boys. I covered both wars in school, but today I looked, I read, I was interested and I still remember it! Most things go straight out my head and I'm on to the next thing!

Thankfully, not anymore. <br /><br />My own experience tells me that the love of learning was there before I went and remained until senior school at which point a big part of it left me or lay dormant until school was through. When school finished a different life began and learning became the same as life again as it should be; it is not a separate thing only when we box it into what is known as *school*. <br /><br />I am so grateful that we can home educate our children and have no intention of providing them with *school*. If I wanted them to have school then they may as well be there. <br /><br />Education and nurturing the natural curiosity for discovery and learning, love of life, enjoyment, being the best we can be and following passions is our goal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
