Life: My God, it's full of stars...

Daughter has suddenly become obsessed with all things to do with space - planets, galaxies, shuttle launches and, particularly, anything to do with Saturn. Am not sure I'll be able to keep up with her long after she's two...

All of which makes the recent decision to home-school her when she's older all the more interesting. The main driver in thinking about this was her CF - this will keep her free from infection and mean we can ramp things up or dial them down depending on how well she is  - and it still is, but that it increasingly being joined by the knowledge that a) it'll be fun and b) she might really benefit from it academically.

And it is very interesting that you mention home-schooling to people and their first reaction is worry about socialising. No-one has said anything about the learning aspects of education at all...Do we all really feel that that is mainly what schools are about now?

Anyway, current plan: a visit to the National Space Centre for her birthday seems only right and proper. Set the controls for the heart of the sun etc...
