Both you and your child were excited about another year of home schooling, then BAM!, you find yourselves doing multiplication tables and spelling words over and over again. Boring! One of the biggest reasons children in schools don't learn is because they are b-o-r-e-d! Perhaps older teachers have lost their enthusiasm for teaching and are just going through the motions. Perhaps, a class is covering a topic that the child has no interest in.

Even the youngest children follow the rhythm, and mimic the actions of counting. Counting is initially understood as a pattern of words, like a nursery rhyme, that is practiced and repeated frequently in different settings.

There are two reasons for this. Either your kids will go to college and need the college preparation, or they WON'T go to college, and their homeschool becomes perhaps the only formal education they receive. College preparation is truly LIFE preparation, especially since you don't know what the future holds. You want to homeschool like the Boy Scouts, and always be prepared!
