Who's Schoolin' Who ...

I am a wife and stay @home mom with all the daily family dramas that brings.  Late summer I added educator to my list of things to do by choosing to home school my daughter.  When I first considered the idea I was flooded with doubt.  I'd been under the knife several times before but never with my daughter at tow.

Why home school?
 Education is a serious matter.   Who do I think I am becoming her primary source for knowledge and comprehension?  Could I really capture and keep her attention long enough to effectively complete a lesson?  What are the benefits of one on one, hands on training versus the 28-34 to 1 student / teacher ratio?

Deconstructing my idea revealed some core factors in support of my final decision.  So far homeschooling is proving  to be most rewarding to both Indigo and myself.  She's allotted extra instructional time and I get to see her eyes glow when she gets it!

It feels rather natural being seated at the helm of my daughters education because it's always been my place.   Our children bare witness to EVERY thing we say and do.

           "We Are, What We Create,"  my daily reminder taught by Indigo.
