I had my curriculum consult this morning, and it was amazing! To be able to sit and chat with someone who knows about a multitude of different options and was praying about what our family needed so that our conversations would be divinely guided was invigorating.
It was like a breath of fresh air in my stuffy home school life right now.
To be able to hash out what I've tried, what I would like to try, or even just what I've secretly pondered in my head was great. To get new and creative ideas about how do to things (as well as some slack from feeling like I need to be perfect) has given me new hope/life to finish off the remainder of this year and an excitement about planning for next year.
I feel like I can do this again. I have been given tools/ideas about how to make school more unconventional in order to (re)capture my kids' attention and interest and hopefully somewhere along the lines in-still in them a love and wonder for learning and school.
Do I think that new curriculum is going to suddenly change their attitudes for the better? No (although one can hope and pray!). However, if I'm excited about what I'm teaching and I have an interesting/relevant delivery method, it will probably go a long way towards capturing their attention- and if I can get their attention, then I can finally teach them something.
