I like to feel accomplished at what I do. Sometimes I am and often I am not. I make mistakes, and frequently they are quite public. I guess I am one who struggles with the sin of pride, so the good Lord knows to keep me humble. I can say I am relatively accomplished at apologizing—thanks to a whole lot of experience.
But even if one were an expert in a field, since we are flawed humans, exploring for all of life, there is almost always more to learn.
I am blessed to know several experts in homeschooling. However, since the term homeschooling refers to something so vast, no single expert can actually be expert in the whole thing. There are aspects of homeschooling where I feel reasonably knowledgeable. In other areas, I am ranked lower than a novice.
When I began this blog, I thought I would have a list of contributing writers. Because of that, my heading for the blog said something like, ‘hear about homeschooling from those ‘in the trenches.’
Months later, I am still the primary writer. My words not only promised something akin to expert advise, but advice from multiple experts. Boy, have I got egg on my face!
So, I have changed my heading. I am not an expert in all things homeschooling. I am passionate about it enough to make it my lifestyle, and to talk about it with anyone willing to join me.
Since I have never made the invitation clear, I would like to do so now. This blog can be more of a forum for dialog rather than a series of monologs from a single homeschooler. No matter your experience level, I’d love to hear from you!
Questions, comments, your own stories…Please come to share. :)
