Take me back to articles                                      Stages of Homeschooling

YEAR ONE

          Plan Plan Plan

          Desk Bells Recess

          Anticipation for arrival of books

          Everyone is so excited

YEAR TWO

          You have more kids

          Involved more in Education

          Afraid you have forgotten something

          Overwhelmed

YEAR THREE

          Really overwhelmed

          Overworked

          Sure everyone else is doing better

          Kids are resisting want to play

          You are sure you are leaving gaps

          You schedule a board meeting

YEAR FOUR

          All new approach

          End up going back to the old before the end of the year

          Overwhelmed again

          Mom is cranky

          Kids are complaining

          Dad is sure he is in the wrong house

YEAR FIVE

          Try that new approach again

          Relax, finding a better way

          Realize perfection is a myth

          Everyone else is faking it

          Gaps are a myth

          You are sure you can handle it

          Hubby can't figure out where this women came from
