first week down

Wow!
So I survived Home school so far. Week one down so many many more to go. We had quite the adjustment period. It is just myself and E. Some days his dad but since His dad works it is most often just E and me. He is way ahead in reading, I knew that though, he is my child afterall and I have read ot him since he was an infant. His math is way behaind. No surprise there since he was in a very hostile and restrictive learning enviornment. I asked him why he could not do simple addition and subtraction with regrouping. He began to cry very heartfelt big rain drop tears and say in a very shakey voice: " It is not my fault mom, I was pulled out of class so much by that mean mean lady, even when I was being good, I never had a chance to really learn the stuff." I believe him as his 2nd grde work book was bare. I have so much hatred for his school. But that is behind us now and I am off to a new begining. I will not discuss the past because I need to focus on now and tomorrow.
Anyway, we went on a field trip to the choclate factory a choclate store down town and the owners of the store were so awsome and full of knowledge. Eddy did very well too, with his questions and his full attention on the lesson and the yummy choclate smaples. I will make a lesson out of South America and the equator next week and the history of the choclate trade. It will be a fun lesson indeed.
I hope to catch a play next week and attend a couple of dDemocratic events to give Eddy a taste of politics, I will attend a republic event too, it is just that the Democratic events are usually cheaper, lol!
