More Goodness

I am feeling really good about where Z is right now.

I was chatting with a good friend recently about EPGY Math as her PG daughter is doing it too. My friend asked me if math is Z's best subject and I said no, that is was her second to the lowest subject, with spelling being her lowest. Everything else comes easier to her than math I think.

My friend commented then that it might be exhausting for Z to be at least four years ahead in all her subjects (except spelling). We had to leave right then so I didn't really get a chance to explain to her that it really isn't exhausting at all. She loves all her classes and she still has a lot of free time.

Everyone is different. What works for one family isn't best for everyone. This is obvious right? But still other's judge us by how what we do would work for them and we often do the same thing to ourselves. Unschooling works best for some. Others are finding their place being multi-grade skipped in public school.

What Z is doing is what works for us. There are a couple outstanding issues, like piano. Also I am not too happy with the langauge arts program I designed. But EPGY Math has been working so well for us that I am going to try their language arts program in the fall and I am excited about that.

Right now I am trusting myself and what I think is the right way to go about educating my daughter. It is a good feeling.
