It seems to get better every year, but I'm still prone to attacks of "We must DOOOO something!" And then I can settle down again and realize that we actually are doing things, it just doesn't look anything like standard academics. <BR/><BR/>I'm hoping that someday I'll be able to bypass this altogether, but it may take unschooling psychotherapy! ;-)Madcaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08966173518099250557noreply@blogger.com
