School has gone straight to hell in a hand basket since we lost the kitchen/school room to the flood. But I thought it would be a good opportunity to try a little Charlotte Mason, as I have been meaning to do. I have a book that purports to work on narration and picture study for those of us too obtuse to figure it out on our own.
So, as per the instructions, I explain to Mia that we will be looking at the picture and talking about what we see. She looks me in the eye and says ernestly "But I already know how to look at pictures." Sigh.
She humored me, but it was clear she thought it was lame. And you know what? It was lame. I'm beginning to acquire quite a little pile of resources that must have worked well for someone, because they came highly recommended, but didn't work for us.
Homeschooling often reminds me of that Moltke quote "No battle plan survives contact with the enemy."
