    You use the term "value" often and that, I think, is THE word that encompasses it all in terms of your message. Most loved, most valuable things. People will find ways to compare no matter what the word is but I love that you are reexamining it.

    I like when you used, “Simple.” Like, you can make homeschooling SIMPLE and it doesn’t always have to be hard. Just like in your book, you say we don’t have to do ALL THE THINGS, and focus what we’re interested at the moment.

    So you only write down six weeks at a time? Then do another six when those six are up? How do you use the rest of the book for written assignments? Do you just write down what they did for the day or six weeks or do you take completes work in there?

    • @ZaraPhD
      @ZaraPhD Год назад

      I'm not sure that I understand all of your question, but yes, I do 6 weeks at a time, and then plan another 6 weeks because life changes. But sometimes I use the same schedule for 9 weeks, or more. You can use it for as long as it works for you. The back of the book is used as a "portfolio," which has representative samples of work.
