After a convoluted and hard-won voyage, our homeschool focus is pretty solidly hackschool and interest-based, both his interests and mine as I obviously direct subject topics. He wasn’t exactly jumping up and down saying, “oh please, can we learn Old English next fall?!” for example - I thought of it. But I know he’ll find Beowulf to be a pretty epic tale (get it? ;)

"Mom, I need to tell you something," is what he'd say, and then he'd wait for me to reply:

"One second, buddy - I just need to finish this post." Or make a quick client call, switch the laundry or finish a nonsense political post I'm reading online.
