I knew a mother who admitted that she did not like homeschooling (although she did it as a matter of neccessity) because she felt those two roles were constantly in conflict. She wanted to mother and nurture, not be the critical schoolmaster. I think there are many mothers like that. Some decide they can't live with the internal conflict and opt to send their children to school. I think others rethink their idea of what "schooling" means and what it means to be a teacher and adopt a more family-friendly, simple mode of "home learning." Which I think is one reason Charlotte Mason's ideas have been rediscovered and embraced.Katherinenoreply@blogger.com
