Recording both the the "rosey" and "wosey" of home educating our 7 year old FULL time, having teachable moments with our 2 year old SOME time, while holding a baby ALL the time. Is it summer break yet?!!

I stole this....

What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, 
and not knowledge in pursuit of the child. 
~George Bernard Shaw

Isn't that awesome? I stole it from Otherwise Educating and it is perfect. It's how I feel about how the US education system is being run - testing, social promotion, raises for teachers who only get scores to rise, etc. It fuels my fire for what I'm trying to do.  

Just wanted to share :)
