What does it mean to be well educated

I am a mother of 4 children, I love the idea of homeschooling but can never be organized enough to really do it. I have tried on and off for the last 8 years mostly with my oldest two, but never really feel like I am successful at it. I think we as parents want the same things for our kids, to be critical thinkers, to have a heart for others, to be wise , be able to function in society, have faith, have careers and kids and wives/husbands. It doesn’t matter so much on whether on the political climate, even though I consider myself independent. I want for my children to yearn to learn and not so much to pass a test but because it is fun. Isn’t that why we send them to school because they do it fun! I feel like I do it wrong, but I do want my kids to enjoy it. Not sit here, read that and answer those questions. Education is supposed to be about experiencing what ever it is they are supposed to be learning. Let us as parent be less about ….be the best as long as they are learning. Maybe it would take the pressure off to where in stead of cramming, they could sleep and get the 92 instead of the 94.

I am hoping to finish the book, be in pieces, so I am more able to soak it in…I am warning you now that I am just a mother and not an intellectual ….Let me know what you think 🙂
