Moms are often their own worst enemy. When my eldest was in public school, he didn’t stay on track, didn’t finish his textbooks in the year, goofed off much of the day – and other kids didn’t turn in their homework or finish the reading, yet nobody cared. (Gifted program, Top Washington State school district, 4th grade.) If you find yourself struggling with staying on track in your homeschool, remember that even the best public school situation wouldn’t necessarily improve things.
Don’t beat yourself up, try to find a solution. Give me a call if you’d like to talk things over (1-888-LEE-2HELP)

OH – the last bubble burst. I’ve sometimes wailed, “If the kids were in public school, they’d learn to do their work without wasting time, goofing around, or moaning and complaining!!! If they didn’t turn in their work on time, they’d fail, the teacher would be on them, they’d get sent to the principal, maybe even detention…”
So much for that idea. I guess those words will never escape my lips again! Things have obviously changed too much in the last twenty some-odd years.
