Garage Band Theory: A Review Learn to Read Music by Ear?
When I explained to my boys how Mr. Sharp relates only playing by ear and refusing to read music to reinventing the wheel and then not being able to communicate with anyone about it, it struck a chord with them….

If public schools can take all day field trips to six flags and call it educational, you can go see the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid and call it journalism.
Please Do Not Apologize, I Probably Won’t Make it to See Your Kid Do Their Thing Either
As for me and mine, no need to apologize for not being able to be there when I never expected it of you. And for those busy moms who suddenly went out of their way and showed up unexpectedly to see my boys do their thing, please know how much I appreciated the time sacrifice.

The Homeschool Wager
“We wagered a second income on the notion that we could educate our children more effectively than the public-school system.
We wagered the need to fit into the world’s expectations on the belief that our children should look to us for social and moral guidance.
We wagered the ease and comfort of kid-free time on the belief that kids need family more than peers, love more than affirmation, and encouragement more than conformity.”
