I’m getting a ride home from work—I work at Lawrence Transit as a dispatcher. My job is answering phones, taking care of our drivers, handling rides for both T Lift and Night Line, creating new profiles, just making sure things run smooth throughout the day. I am a mother of three, working full time. I don’t have a vehicle so public transportation is definitely the way to go for that, and I highly suggest taking public transportation.
My husband, he does the homeschooling but it’s all the time. It’s kinda like an ‘unschooling homeschooling’ is what I’ve heard it termed as. We don’t have scheduled times to do math or to do science. It’s just like whenever we know we have their attention is when we do work. It’s been pretty good so far. I mean, I’m kinda biased.
My oldest, he’s eight, he’d be in second grade. And then my middle, she’s five, she would start kindergarten this year. And my youngest, he will be three next week but, I mean, he’s all about what brother and sister are doing. I mean he’s absorbing everything we’re teaching them. He knows his alphabet, his numbers, he knows how to count. We have the mentality that kids with lots of love and no stress can learn anything. We don’t try to condense everything you have to know in the second grade into six months cause that’s not gonna work. That’s why we’re all about homeschooling.
