What former home-educators are relegated to....


Recommended Posts

Apparently, former homeschool teachers are relegated to mod podging. Does anyone else remember that from the 70's?

 

Tonight, moments after he went to bed, DS14 remembered that he owed "a rock emblazoned with inspirational messages" in his weekly leadership class tomorrow. The assignment was given two weeks ago. He hadn't even looked for a rock. He trudged out into our woods with a flashlight searching for a rock. Then he grabbed an old magazine to look for inspirational words. Everyday With Rachel Ray really isn't the place to look. I hunted up some of his USA Swimming magazines for word sources. He cut out words. He glued. But it was now late, he has a bad cold, so I sent him to bed and promised I would mod podge.

 

Mod podging is a skill he mastered long ago. I'm not enabling, am I?

He is learning that his mother will be there to help him - maybe not forever, but its good to have someone around - we are not in this world all alone - you are allowed to modge podge to your hearts content and not feel guilty about it. He will learn consequences for leaving things late at some point in life - it doesn't have to be today.
