I'm a Classical Home Educator through and through.
That doesn't mean, however, that I have abandoned all of our Interest Led Learning ideals.
More and more I am drawn to find ways for us to pursue our interests with a Classical learning framework (if that makes sense).
Sometimes we take vacations from school and learning still occurs. This has been one of those weeks.
I'm a firm believer in learning "evolving" on its own.
Our study of the Civil War has been a beautiful example of Interest Led Learning.
Yes, the Civil War is on our history "schedule" this year, but the specifics of studying it are not. I like to leave those specifics up to my children. My job is to provide a variety of resources, field trip opportunities, and inspiration so they can soak in as much about the subject as possible.
This is why I consider myself more of a homeschool GUIDE than a TEACHER.
