I have all of John Holt’s books: he is the one that convinced me to homeschool.

I’m really thinking of a structured curriculum for a year or two; then we may switch to the “unschooling” approach.

Even though I am a college-educated professional, 95% of the things I have learned in my lifetime, that have been of real value to me, have been those things I learned on my own when I NEEDED to in order to further some goal of my own.

My kids read a minimum of an hour per day, and I often find them reading outside of “reading time”.

I have no doubt that my two kids will be “homeschooling success stories”.

Good for you! I’m sure your children will do well. One of the best things about homeschooling is the ability to change and make adjustments as you go along.

Freegards,
