intelligent discussion

For the first five minutes, it was to seek out support and encouragement in my brand new homeschooling journey. I quickly realized it was like therapy. All the advice I could ever need, plus the opportunity to share advice which felt great. To a nursing, stay-home-mom, it was very affirming. I was more than a walking boob. I was more than the gal fixing dinner and teaching phonics. I was able to participate in intelligent conversation!!!!

 

Now, it's my teacher's lounge.:001_smile:

Cause people who homeschooling no matter what their reasons are pretty cool people and I wanted to get to know them.

Thanks! I've bleached my moustache since then so I should probably update the picture, huh?

I had been on the Sonlight boards but I didn't care for Core K or a lot of the usborne books they used. I checked out TWTM and then checked out the forum. I had lots of questions and enjoyed the conversation. This was all years ago on the old boards. :001_smile:

I live with two Aspies. Dd had tried out "real" school for the first time last fall and came home with mono and the start of a nervous breakdown by Thanksgiving. So I was overwhelmed, terribly lonely, worried about dd, and thrilled to find so many people discussing Asperger's and education so openly.
