Scuplting a New Passion

http://theorganicsister.com/2010/04/sculpting-a-new-passion/

It’s been almost three and a half years since Zeb has been out of school. And it’s been five years since he decided – with the negative encouragement from some very poor art teachers at the age of five – to believe he wasn’t an artist.

In fact, until last week, there were three truths he held firm to:

1. That only women made good artists
2. That he was not artistic, nor interested in anything art related
3. That at some point in the next few years he would have to outgrow his beloved LEGO collection

http://bearthmama.com/2009/09/reasons-for-homeschooling/

I needed more freedom and more autonomy over my learning than was possible in a public school setting. I wanted to ensure my children had that autonomy and that they had all their needs met.
