We are six weeks into the school year.
I always prefer six weeks of "grace" when adjusting to a new school year. The best laid plans at the beginning of the year can often go awry after just a month.
Our homeschool this year consists of two Classical Conversations students: my 9 year old son, Grant is in Foundations and Essentials. My 13 year old daughter, Anna, is in Challenge B.
We have taken varied approaches to homeschool in the past three years.
I have fluctuated between being somewhat of a Classical task master, to embracing my inner Charlotte Mason. I can see a distinct advantage to each, depending on the situation.
I've been struggling with the question: Is sticking to a schedule a good thing or a bad thing? More specifically, is sticking to a schedule of assignments a good or bad thing?
