So it's first day of school for most 7 year olds. To be honest, it feels kind of weird not to be in this frenzy with the rest of the world. Seeing updates after updates on Facebook of excited parents and their pictures of their uniformed children, l feel a little lost. Like I've been left behind or something... or forgotten even.
Then I look at my little girl. Sophie has always been very certain that homeschooling is meant for her. She has never doubted my ability or motivation. She's hardly affected by other children or their folks talking about school and studies. Perhaps she's sheltered from the critics and negative vibes. All she asks for is for me to let her visit her friends in school. I wonder if she's actually understood what we need to do.
Frankly, I am also not sure what to expect from our decision to homeschool. If it's purely academic, I'm sure Sophie would be fine. I'm just not very confident about everything else. I'm not even sure if I can pull it off. After all, I'm not in the pink of health. Thus we are delaying school and we'll start only on 6 Jan.
