Amy wrote about eclectic homeschooling. Eclectic is
my middle name. But I can't hold a candle to my
sister, Eclectic is her first name. She has had her kids
in an amazing number of different combinations of
school situations. She began with her son in government
school. Then her family moved overseas to do church
planting. While there her son was in a one room school
with other missionary kids. Her older daughter was too
young to join the other kids so she had a tutor. Becky,
my sister, then began to homeschool her kids and usually
one or two of the other missionary kids on their team
would join with them. Oldest son left for boarding school
when he hit highschool, but Becky still homeschooled her
daughters plus the extra kids. They then moved back
to the states and oldest son went back to government
school while daughters were still homeschooled. Then came
the wildest year of all--oldest son was in government school,
older daughter was in private Christian school and younger
daughter was homeschooled. This year oldest son is going
to Christian college, and both daughters will be in the
private school. Are you dizzy yet? I've got to go catch my
breath.
