I am Australian and I don't know if it's just the communities I've lived and worked in (I'm a teacher currently on leave, but working one day a week at my daughter's school), but here it seems that once children start school parents completely drop all responsibility for their children's education. There is this kind of expectation that they no longer have to do any of the educating of their children, because the school should be doing it. I do not feel this way and I feel that we need to everything we can to teach our children how to learn and to encourage them to want to learn, which is why we want to show her how to be responsible for her learning herself. She really thrives on routine and goals and responsibility, so it is easy to get her hooked and motivated if we make some kind of chart for her to tick things off! Anyway, my point was that I love the way you and your family take responsibility for educating your children outside of school, and that I often feel very isolated with my thoughts on this topic among my friends (I can't include family in this statement, because no one else has kids yet), so I really enjoy reading your posts on things like summer goals, etc. Thank you.

I will definitely listen to them in the next few days. LOVED our time together yesterday. When I left, I thought of so many things I had wanted to talk with you about too. Maybe next time we'll have to type up an agenda!
