Homeschooling Boys :: Part II
Several years ago, when my three boys were 9, 7, and 3, I wrote a blog post about Homeschooling Boys. Since my boys are now 12, {almost} 10, and {almost} 6, and I thought I would revisit the topic. We still continue to do school work in much the same way as I outlined above. Those […]
