Thank you for this! Various learning differences run in my husband’s family. My children struggle with what most people consider “the basics” and have other amazing gifts that aren’t typically valued until adulthood. The goal of our homeschool is not to make “elite students” and that seems to be tough for a lot of people around me to comprehend. Glory to God for all things!
As I read this, I remember how much in First Year English was focused on outcomes. We were supposed to put them in our syllabus, teach to them, and then evaluate how well our students did as a group. As a retired person, I have found intentions and goals don't work so well for me. Perhaps because of what you say. The freedom we are called to in Christ is can be frightening, because it's so open. Thank you for this. It's so wise and thoughtful and well written. I want to reread later.
