What i LOVED about the workbox system is that it allowed me to be able to schedule one on one time w/ each child for math and SWR and other things. I HIGHLY recommend it. Also my children are all on the autism spectrum so it helps them visually etc... Yes, it takes a little planning on your end but you can do it!!! I know lots of other families who use it.

I tried authoring a post on this very topic, but just couldn't find the words. The only thing I would add that I tell everyone going to a convention is to be careful. There are people who are paid lots of money to make their books look as good as possible so you will buy them. Thanks for posting. I will be sure to pass this along.

(though I will say that the workboxes DO have the potential to revolutionize a homeschool...they have ours!) :) Thanks again!

I on the other hand want to use a sledgehammer. Kind of like how my hubby uses a chainsaw to prune trees. I'll have to keep that image in my mind the next time I come down too hard on the children for being, well, children. :) Molded gently. I on the other hand want to use a sledgehammer.

Facing my own failures. Seeing my sin exposed through the lives of my children. That's when I realize again this takes more time than I've allowed. New hearts must be molded gently. It is step by step. For me. For them. And we walk on looking to the one who knows our final form. Dana,
Oh, but looking internal first is much harder than spending money on something new and shiny. Facing my own failures. Seeing my sin exposed through the lives of my children.

That’s when I realize again this takes more time than I’ve allowed. New hearts must be molded gently. It is step by step. For me. For them. And we walk on looking to the one who knows our final form.
