Feeling lost...

I haven't written for a while. I go back and forth about what I want this blog to be about. I want people to learn from not only my mistakes, but my experiences and I want to share my journey as a mom (as well as my kids' journey) through the public school system and OUT of it (thankfully). I'm hoping it will help someone who's going through some of the same things I did. I also want to talk about different ways of learning; different "out of the box" ways of learning. Why do we have to do what we've always done, if it doesn't work? Why don't we ever stop to really look and see if it DOES still work or not? I always wanted to be a teacher. I never thought of doing anything else at all. There were no other options for me- I was a teacher at heart and I was a supporter of our public school system. I'm not anymore, and although it makes me sad, I'm so happy that I now SEE so much more than I ever did before about educating children and that I don't just sit idly by saying, "Ok, sure, cause that's just what you're supposed to do."
