Sometimes we'll present award certificates for "most improved reading" or "mastering the 7s times table", etc. But most of all, we want their motivation to be internal, so we focus on teaching a love of learning. That's something you just can't get from out-schooling. Or at least you can't keep it alive. ;)<br />I agree about homeschooling allowing kids to learn at their own pace. I can't imagine how my adoptees would have struggled and learned to hate school had we put them in a school building, govt or private. We learn their learning styles so intimately at home.Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10657460163379486396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-40045931882679006652010-12-06T19:21:34.595-06:002010-12-06T19:21:34.595-06:00My kids attend public school, but we spend a lot o...My kids attend public school, but we spend a lot of time around the dining room table doing homework. My kids are motivated by their own sense of wanting to do well, and also they want to make us (parents) proud of them. They work very hard at school and put in the extra study time. Grades and teacher comments (comments about behavior and attitude are just as important as class grades) are their own rewards - we praise them for a job well done and post their report cards on the fridge! If we have an "oops!" grade, we discuss how they can apply themselves to improving for next term (study strategies, etc.). Each quiz, etc. is always an opportunity for praise and encouragement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-62690408495298233612010-12-06T17:37:06.034-06:002010-12-06T17:37:06.034-06:00We interviewed Michelle Duggar in October but will...We interviewed Michelle Duggar in October but will not be speaking with her in the near future. <br />The Duggars are taking a break from interviews until closer to the airing of "19 Kids and Counting" season 5.Lily and Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00941253435533935093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-88881669666209378232010-12-06T06:15:36.104-06:002010-12-06T06:15:36.104-06:00This question is Michelle Duggar...
