In my last post I spoke about some of the challenges I have been facing during my first year of homeschooling. I've learned a lot through this process! Some of the problem has been my daughter being motivated enough to do the work (which was a problem we faced while she was in the public school system, too). Finally, yesterday, I told her that if she didn't start doing her work then I would have to quit my job! She understands that my quitting would mean we would not move from my parents home, something she wants as desperately as my husband and I! She also knows we've been searching for a car and in order to save money we would forget about that ambition. But most importantly, to her anyway, is that she would give up any hope of an extracurricular activity with others due to no money or transportation.
Today, she completed all of the work that has been going mostly undone for the last week and a half! She did it in less than four hours, too. That has me thinking that perhaps I need to begin assigning exceptionally more work.....
On a brighter note, we have found a car, possibly. Keeping our fingers crossed!
