We are truly blessed in our country to have such different methods of education to choose from. Our kids are unique, so we should be able to put them on the path that's best for them. Alexa, I'm so glad your son is doing well in WAVA. It wasn't the best choice for us, but obviously is for your family (and many others -- I think we might be the oddballs here! ;-) ).

We just pulled our 6th grader out of traditional public school because the model wasn't working for him...he's the only one of our five kids who hasn't thrived in the traditional model. I'm noticing a huge difference in doing one-on-one with him through WAVA. I really liked your post. We shouldn't be afraid to try new ways to educate our children.

Very insightful - and I feel the same way you do - there is no "one right way" to educate. For the simple reason - that children are sooooo different. I see this all the time in private education and in my private "one on one" lessons with my music students. Many of them are home schooled - and would not be able to be in the "public" arena AT ALL. Period. And I have students who would not be good candidates for a home based program either. And there are some that find a healthy balance doing both. There are such wonderful tools available online now and with co-ops helping out - it has really been great. I applaud the home schooling parent and family - as we did not choose this method for our kids - but I have several good friends who did - and I saw first hand the 24/7 commitment to the program. You are great, Sally!! Keep up the good work with your kids :) You are loved! Sally – I One Hundred Percent Agree with Everything you said here!
