Scenario #1: It’s Monday morning, skies are gray again for the 12th day in a row. Somewhere down the hall you hear your two youngest children fighting about who left the cap off the toothpaste and now the end is dry and crusty. You pull the covers over your head to shut out the impending dread of doing battle with lessons, sibling rivalry, besides trying to keep your house from looking like it should be condemned as a public health risk. You are a homeschool mother. Scenario #2: It’s Monday morning, skies are gray but you are up and at ’em. Where are your children? They should be washed, brushed, fed, and in their school desks by now. Goodness knows the morning is nearly gone as you look at the hands on the clock that read 8:00. Why were you given such lazy children! “Up and at ’em”, you yell from the bottom of the stairs. Your oldest child stares at you with bleary eyes. “Is it Monday already?” he sighs. These children are homeschool students. It is time to reassess character, curriculum, and commitments.This presentation gives suggestions and helps us reevaluate the possible reasons that we are tired and frustrated with our homeschool program. It is useful in determining how to be refreshed and encouraged to finish the task before us.
