Homeschool English Evaluation

Homeschool English Evaluation
Sometimes combining subjects works perfectly.  Other times it can be best to separate subjects.  My best advice is always do what works - and if it doesn't work, then try something else. My 13 yr old son can recite to me things he has learned or read but when I ask him to write a paper on it, he freezes up and the knowledge simply never makes it on the paper. It's like his brain knows...

5 Ideas for Moms Raising Teen Boys

5 Ideas for Moms Raising Teen Boys
We interrupt this program...Hi everyone....Matt here.  One of Lee's Facebook friends asked whether I had any tips for mom's raising teen boys.  Although I've never been a mom, I have raised teen boys.  With that obvious shortcoming, I humbly offer the following 5 ideas: Be aware of the dynamic going on.  Your son is changing from dependence to leadership.  He is learning to lead a family both by watching his dad, but also by "practicing" on...

So what if their response to the example in #4 is to simply NOT do the work? and they have no reaction to the consequence?

Homeschool Lessons from Nature: Bluejays are Like Boys

Homeschool Lessons from Nature: Bluejays are Like Boys
Blue jays are like teenage boys.  I was watching some gorgeous Blue Jays in my backyard.  They are remarkably blue, and fairly large birds about the size of crows.  Three of them were making a lot of noise together, when suddenly one of the birds started acting funny.  Flapping his wings widely, he looked like he was hurt.  He started making loud noises, and opening is mouth wide, like he was gagging.  Poor bird! The other...

Homeschool - Make Time for Fun!

Homeschool - Make Time for Fun!
When we were homeschooling, I found a family that had boys the same age as my boys.  Almost every week, we would meet together.  The boys would play board games together, or other activities.  Many times they played educational games, but not always.  Sometimes it was just goofing off!  At the same time, I would sit and have coffee with the other mom.  What a joy!  Sipping coffee, tasting a brownie, stitching some needlepoint, we would...

School Strategy for Little (and not so little) Boys

School Strategy for Little (and not so little) Boys
When my boys were little, we took a lot of car trips. We would stop at almost every rest stop, and have the boys run races with Daddy. Sometimes they would throw the ball or chase the dog. The exercise seemed to get them settled down again, for another long stint in the car. We used the same strategies when the boys were doing high school work. We had them become involved with sports: soccer, swim...
