(We homeschooled for 3 years - and my hubby works from home, so we were an all-together-all-the-time family).<br /><br />I've totally had lessons that went like the one you described. So what was up with the dads? Did they take the day off from work to go see the homeschoolin' dad?ali crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023009704454279645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347493753441352036.post-46450108402247530172012-01-17T15:28:26.916-05:002012-01-17T15:28:26.916-05:00I admire anyone who home-schools or helps out in t...I admire anyone who home-schools or helps out in the classroom. My hat's off to you. I think, no matter what you did, how long or how short your presentation, it was still appreciated. Not a lot of dads out there like you.
