My husband is a geek by trade; he programs statistics, so my kids have always been around computers and technology. In fact, they pick it up so quickly, they are the ones teaching me. <br /><br />I think they started to learn to type in 3rd grade for us as well. They took technical classes through Florida Virtual school.

Students using a SmartBoard, Notebook formats for presentations, making videos, etc.?

Not only are children uniquely gifted, with unique learning styles, but families are also remarkably different, with various combinations of dad/mom schooling (or unschooling) or dad/mom/both working (in/out of the home), various combinations of ages & stages of children--all factors that contribute to individual family "rhythms." <br />We are at the very "beginning" stages: our kids are just-turned 6, 4-1/2, 2-3/4 and 17 mos. We just started homeschooling this year. It is always encouraging to hear those moms who have "made it" (and their children have done well) remind us to "chill out." :-)<br />I also agree with and appreciate so much your last four points. Some parents insist their way is the only way, the right way, the superior way to teach a child. It really is such an individual decision!<br />Thank you for your post!Embracing the Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770645865532299484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447179483552444656.post-88687311506159777382013-01-09T22:22:14.809-05:002013-01-09T22:22:14.809-05:00thanks for a lovely post - so full of things that ...thanks for a lovely post - so full of things that I need to be reminded of frequently :)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08733260699809919293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447179483552444656.post-57253540958257235962013-01-09T08:22:28.337-05:002013-01-09T08:22:28.337-05:00Read-Alouds?

Public school was for those who could not have the help at home. Cool to do it, but I agree, not for everyone.
