Half term comes to an end

October 27th, 2007 by Sarah

All three children have done nice things today; Anna had orchestra and then a friend’s birthday party, while the other two went to Crealy with Grandma and Robyn, making it a nice end to the week for all of them. Steve and I have painted a wall and snivelled our way through the day with help from Lemsip. Looking forward to a curry and Saturday night tv tonight, then a relatively quiet day (might do a second coat on the wall) tomorrow before school starts again on Monday.

A couple of weeks before half term Josiah decided that he’d like to go back to school again. Not sure what changed his mind exactly, but I have to admit that in some ways I was relieved. So he is going back to school on Monday. I’m probably feeling more anxious than he is at the moment, and slightly disappointed all over again about not home educating any more, but at the same time I’m quite pleased, as it has been such hard work for us to have a foot in both camps. So that’s our news.

    Is this what is known as ‘hokey-cokey education’?

    and no, I hadn’t mentioned it – feels like a big deal so I had to give myself time to get used to it. Not sure I have yet though tbh. Also was waiting till I’d told my parents in real life rather than on the blog!

    Wow, big news!

    Good luck to Joe for Monday and hope you find it a more straightforward life with all in rather than half in and half out. Have the strangest feeling this probably isn’t the end of your HE journey somehow though… xxxx

    just catching up again, gosh it must be confusing for you, but good on you for supporting his choice. Know what you mean about foot in both camps, it does make life complicated, doesn’t it?
