Week two of school can be tough!

9/12/2014

It still feels like summer, and motivation is hard to find.  As I ponder how this year will turn out, I struggle to not feel the stress as I strive to get the year going.  

As of 5pm on Friday, these things I know to be true:


   1.  Keep things in perspective, it's too early to worry so much.

   2.  All children will eventually grow into adults and learn the things they           need to learn.  This includes mine. (and yours)

   3.  Be happy.  Smile, even if you don't feel like it - it will catch on.

“I’m smiling!  Can you see me?” I screamed! (from my insides) 

My son was clearly not smiling.  A 6-word memoir conversation erupted between us.

J.          dark dungeon with no fun allowed
Mom.    frustration, if only he was motivated

J.          motivation is something of a mystery  
Mom.    time marches on, homework is undone

J.           my spirit needs to be free 
Mom.    escape from school, away he goes…..


Smile, hug me now, I’m done!

School is tough. I guess "can be tough" would be an understatement. The thing I really hate the most about school is the need to socialise. I think the children are too young to deal with a world of politics. I must say I never really survived traditional school. I looked at myself as a casualty for the longest time. I don't want the same thing to happen to my son. This is why I chose unschooling for him. I don't see the need to conform especially now that I have realized it is not always advisable to work a nine to five job that requires you finish more than ten years of traditional school.
