Does anyone else have a bunch of saved posts in the Post Writing section that you started and didn’t finish? I do. So, I decided to go through some of them and see what I found. Apparently, I had taken a blurb from a post I had written on a list somewhere and copied it […]

Elsie, at Elsie and Joe Deluxe, wrote a post called Keep Those Systems Off My Kids. I enjoyed the topic and it reminded me of a VERY important point about how I homeschool my children. She says this at the very end of the post:

I came home yesterday and heard some instructional talk coming from behind the couch, which is William’s “quiet time area”. Hhmmm, what’s going on? I was excited to discover this:

Since I posted a couple pages about how the right-brained, creative child learns to read, I wanted to follow it with the post that inspired them.
