An Attitude of Earnest

I think it's important that Ry and I both be really hung ho about this. I think it's going to take a lot of work, and adaptation, and that some degree of emotional momentum is going to help a lot.

So for my first reading assigment -- to myself! -- I got:


The First Year of Homeschooling Your Child: Your Complete Guide to Getting Off to the Right Start

==} found at amazon.com [booklink] for $11.53 ($8 used)


And to encourage her to feel strong, excited about it, and determined to make it not just 'not doing public school' but actually 'proactively pursuing being well educated', HER first reading assignment is:


The Teenage Liberation Handbook: How to Quit School and Get a Real Life and Education

==} found at amazon.com [booklink] for $13.60 (3.99 used)




3.99 + 13.60 + 7.98(s/h) = $25.57

Our official start date for school is August 1. However the first week is only reading that book and working out assignments and how to record stuff etc. The school here officially will start somewhere between the 10th and 15th.

Her 12th birthday is August 13th.
