We are the people who know our children best and are the only ones to make the judgement call that they should be educated in massive classes of children, responding to bells and punishment or at home in a loving environment which encourages learning. Each to their own, I say, whatever is best for the individul child. But just one thought - how many children do you see skipping all the way to school with a smile on their face?<br />Suzanne Perazzinihttp://www.strandsofmylife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919469476451579082.post-60508881967056304412012-10-16T04:33:40.865-07:002012-10-16T04:33:40.865-07:00Oh, I'll have to come and visit and see where ...Oh, I'll have to come and visit and see where you live in order to be able to have a fig tree.

I tried to "chin up" and not debase my comments but all I wanted to ask him was, "So, were you, by chance then, homeschooled?" He had met me all of 1 minute and had never met my son.

Any study of history can set us wondering and think about how small we are in the scheme of things. It is so humbling and somehow sad. I think we are too hard on ourselves sometimes, especially homeschooling mothers who often doubt choices made. We have so much more influence over our children's lives and the responsibility weighs heavily on our shoulders.<br />Love your photos - that first one is like a historical work of art.

I loved sitting below the soft, almost primordial leaves (and I think I read on another blog they can be used to wrap fish for steaming -- another idea for another post) -- and, yes, they always made me so reflective of humankind and nature and the unceasing cycles of time...
