Thank you! I find it to be a challenge every year. Hopefully, one day I’ll be able to look back and say our homeschool experience was a success, too.
Btw, I thought you might appreciate this story about a homeschool family I knew personally: The couple was told their newborn son would die. Then, when he lived, they were told he would never walk or talk. Then, when he walked and talked, they were told he would be profoundly mentally handicapped for the rest of his life. When that didn’t happen, I don’t know what the experts said. All I know is that, by age 4, he already knew his multiplication tables! :-0 I don’t know what he’s doing now. But, apparently, not even the “experts” can predict what gifts a child’s future holds. :-)
Of course, that brings us to another point. What's wrong with babies that some think are less than worthy to be born?
I have a very loving niece with Down's. She is loved by the whole family. Then there's my grandson and my sister's two sons are at risk for HD. They are all deserving of life. As a matter of fact, I'd rather live with all of them than a liberal.
