This year, you guys have tried something new and tried to homeschool me and Paloma. There are some great things about being homeschooled like you do less of it. But also a lot of difficult ones, such as we don’t have a schedule to follow, and it is sometimes hard to have a teacher who is your parent and pay all of your attention to school. It also takes time away from activities that we could do otherwise. So this is all of the reasons why it is difficult for me to be homeschooled.
Firs, I know you guys like it when there is a schedule to follow especially you mom. But with this homeschooling, we are turning school into a mess. We don’t know when classes are or what we are doing until the last minute. We also have a schedule to follow, which makes school a lot harder.
I love school, but really, can you pay full attention when your parent is teaching you? I don’t think so. If you don’t have the right environment and people to work with you, then you’re going to get distracted. And it makes it even harder when your sister is in the room saying “Finished. I’m done.”
Also when you’re mad at someone then you don’t do as well working with them, and you don’t work as hard.
Also, I’d like to make a point of taking other activities into mind. We’re traveling the world for a year and if we spend all of the precious time we could be spending skydiving, or go-cart riding, or even shopping, doing academics, then we could be missing out on what could be the highlight of our trip.
You have heard my reasons and I hope you take them into consideration and change homeschool to include these ideas.
Hugs and kisses,
(I’d like to say, I wrote this when I was mad at my parents.)
