Life, Love & Literature

It has taken us a long time to work out what works best for us in terms of learn­ing styles.

While not anti autonomous edu­ca­tion, what I’ve seen and expe­ri­enced in prac­tice doesn’t fill me with con­fi­dence in it as the ONLY style of learning.

There­fore what I aim for is a style of edu­ca­tion that pro­vides enough struc­ture and rou­tine to reas­sure both myself and the boys, while on the oth­er­hand allow­ing us the free­dom to chase the boys inter­ests or aban­don the books for the day and head to the beach. They both need clear expec­ta­tions and like end goals and things to strive for. On the oth­er­hand I don’t believe every­thing should be rou­tine and want them to be self motivated.

Whether I’ll suc­ceed in meet­ing those aims with these plans I don’t know, time will tell.
