My daughter is 14. In other words, she just started High School.
Now this means something a little different at our house than most because we are home schooling our kids.
The final four years of home school. Finally!
This is what I have been waiting for her whole life. For her to be mentally capable of learning all the stuff I want to teach her. And she is ready!
Now I can teach her all the science, philosophy, history, literature, writing, and logic courses I have been itching to teach her for all this time.
Here is where you might expect me to take a sharp turn in the direction of this post and say something like: Now that the time has come I am terrified or unsure what to teach or something to that effect.
Nope! I am just excited. Giddy even. I keep reworking the curriculum order. Tweaking it.
All the lectures I have waiting for her, all the books I can’t wait for her to read, all the great figures in history for her to discover. All the intellectual discussions waiting.
Now it begins.

That is such an exciting time for you!!! To have waited all those years and they are finally here. She is very lucky to have a dad that is so well prepared to deal with the most intellectually formative years.
A tip of the hat to you good sir! I am still trying to attain the knowledge that I believe a father should have, and it gives me strength to know that others have come as far as you. Fiery is right, your daughter is lucky to have a father such as yourself. Many other children would benefit from such guidance. Once again I tip my awesome hat in your awesome direction.
(okay too many awesome's there, but the Mytai's have made me a little tipsy)
