Subject: I'd bet your dd is more than willing to work hard to catch up before & after the trip. Other than reading, as you said, I would ask if the teacher might allow her to do an independent project on her experiences overseas - this would be great preparation for high school where Independent Study Projects are in almost every class

  • We are forcing kids to grow up before they have too. Their "real" life is being able to experience the fruits of their labor. In this case it is dancing abroad. There is so much learning that does not come from school. We as parents have to be able to show our kids that. Not every child will excel at traditional schooling. Even those that do will be all the more prepared for "real" life if they actually have "real" life experiences. (NT) -- Mom, Fri, September 18, 05:46:01pm
  • Agreed. Many of the brightest kids we know are/were homeschooled. They are eager, curious, ambitious and dilligent. Their interests are varied and travel has definitely helped. Ours go to a trad school, but I would do it differently if we had the chance. (NT) -- jmo, Sat, September 19, 09:48:34am
