Hi all,
I need some encouragement and advice. Today was our first day using full curriculum for my three. DS 1 (5th grader), DD (3rd grader), DS 2 (K). I made up a detailed schedule and began with such high hopes. I ended up sending the two oldest to their rooms because of attitudes. DS 1 accomplished First Form Latin, half of grammar, and some math. I am so discouraged with him. I realized that I fear he is behind his peers. The Memoria Press work is a huge step up for him. He freaks out about writing the answers to just three of the questions in a workbook. I know that you guys say to expect for the first 10 days to take the first five days of assignments but it feels like we are moving even slower than that. We didn't even attempt recitation. He dislikes school and getting him to do anything is a battle. Have you been where I am? What did you do?
