RE: Why I call myself a Lazy Homeschooler....

in #homeschool7 years ago

I like the perspective of "outsourcing." As a teacher, I often find myself outsourcing in the areas that I am least confident in and often find myself saying, "I don't know. I suppose we will have to research that." I think it is more important to teach kids how to be resourceful than to know the answer to all their questions. It is about providing an enriching environment with the resources needed to explore. This is what grows critical and inquisitive minds.

Yes! I don't think we need to do everything ourselves. I think that some homeschooled kids have difficulty recognizing non-parental authority, so having other adults as experts helps with that to.
