homeschooling for CMT children

[Guest guest]

Dear Gretchen,

Thank you so much for your kind words. It is helpful knowing that someone

is in your corner. Life is about having those around us that care and that

includes this list. I am glad to have my computer working better had to call my

aol and they guided me through it. So maybe I can email more to the cmt list

when I am not busy with 5 children.

I am very thankful that I found you and this list it has made a world of

difference in the way I approach life.

Thanks,

Heidi,

Thanks for sharing this. Knowing your life's experiences and educational

background and qualifications you will make an excellent homeschool teacher.

I would have loved homeschool. Except I don't think I could have

spent so much time with my Mom. lol

I would have rather gone to work with my Dad when I was 12. I certainly learned

so much MORE from work than school could EVER teach me.

When I was of legal working age here (16) I went to work half-days (besides go

to private school) and learned so much about economics, relationships, writing,

math, science, culture, all kinds of interesting things, you name it.

I know Sayge, Kelseigh and Jory will have the best home school around!

Hi everyone,

I am a special education teacher and I support any parent that is able to stay

home at teach their children. I would love to stay home and teach my own.

unfortunatly I can't. Meanwhile my first grader learned all kinds of things

that I didn't want him to learn yet that are not good from school and riding the

bus to school. I have known many students that were homeschooled for elementary

school and came to my school for Jr. High and each one is ahead of the rest of

their class. I believe you do have to have some sort of qualifications to

homeschool, but I am not sure. Each state may be different. I also believe

that the students still need to take the state tests and perform better then the

nonhomeschooled peers.

Hi Heidi,

Just wanted to let you know that I have CMT and also homeschool. I have 3 kids,

and the fatigue can really wear me down. Yet the rewards of homeschooling are

worth it all. It's good for the kids to learn how to help out more when Mom

needs it.

I just had 3 of my toes straightened 2 weeks ago, and my girls, age 7 and 10

have really been a blessing after my surgery. They help me make meals and

take care of their little brother. They are learning real life lessons being at

home so much.

Hi Lori,

I would love to talk with you more about CMT and homeschooling. The strategies

that work for you, the ones that don't? The resources out there. Where are you

located? I am in NH - email me anytime.

Thanks

Heidi
