Don't do that

I spend a lot of time writing about all the things that we do, but home ed and life are not all about being busy and 'doing.' What follows is a list of things that we don't do.

In this household:

We don't teach our children.

We don't follow a curriculum

We don't quiz our children

We don't have bedtimes

We don't finish projects

Sometimes we don't even start projects

We don't stay at home all the time

We don't always get dressed

We don't tell our children what to do or when to do it

We don't do chores

We don't do math drills

We don't always tidy up

We don't always eat our savoury before our sweet

We don't have a timetable

We don't have reward charts

We don't sit at tables and do worksheets

We don't all learn the same thing at the same time

We don't all get up at the same time in the morning

We don't tell our children what or when to read

We don't have sweety days

We don't do handwriting practice

We don't limit screentime

We don't seperate learning from living

We don't do subjects

We don't do tests

We don't do school


We get busy living and the learning goes on.
