RE: No pressure, it’s just learning
It just goes to show that kids will learn well at their own pace. It's funny really that we don't consider how much psychological effect that the pressured environment of school can have on kids, especially those who're introverted, creative or just think differently.
I remember hating school for the best part of 3 years before something clicked in my mind and it all became a lot easier right at the end of infants. I often wonder what it would have been like if I could have learned intuitively.
I respect you for choosing to school your son at home 👍
Thanks for the thoughtful comment @raj808.
We too believe that school is too much too young. It can, and does, work for older kids, but the pressures aren’t worth the undertaking.
Children who don’t fit, those who are extremely creative, have different ways of seeing the world or just need more time to take things in tend to suffer more.
Not to knock school - it works for some and not for others, and I’m sure if my boy wants the school experience when he is ready and understanding then he can.
But for now, he’s doing just fine 💪🏻
