I just got to thinking today of some people's arguments on homeschooling and children not learning to be on a schedule. Especially say unschool families (which we are not but have considered it a time or two). These people ask how are these children going to learn that in the "real world" they won't know how to get to work on time and things like that. Well I got to thinking that is really a silly thing to say.

Why? Because for one I am sure these children have doctors and dentist appointments right?! I am also sure if (and I am sure the do) they have play dates with their friends and that is usually at a time where both sets of parents can be there! Also what about going on field trips? I am sure they make a time to get out of the house to make it to where ever they are going (with or without a homeschool group)at a certain time.

So why does learning a schedule really have to be only learned in a brick and mortar school? There are many everyday opportunities for people to learn to be places on time. Does it really have to happen everyday for a child/person to learn this? I really don't think so. Homeschooling and especially Unschooling is about experiencing life and learning from life. So this argument about unschooling/homeschooling is just silly to me.

Ok I am done LOL. It was just on my mind lately and wanted to put it out there for people to think about too. I know it isn't well thought out or the best of writing but it's what I was thinking LOL.

ETA: Thanks Julie I can't believe I forgot getting up every Sunday (for those with Christian beliefs like us :D) and going to church on time too!! How could I forget that!! Thanks again Julie LOL.

It was cold again today but thankfully I was able to go to the Laundromat to do laundry. No frozen water LOL. But when Hubby took the clothes out to the car last night he forgot to pack the backpack with the boy's school work in it and I didn't see it before we left. So we had to do school when we got back. So again we were a little off schedule. It wasn't bad but I really hate getting off our routine. I don't really have a strict routine and it's not like we have a routine for everything but with the routine we do have I don't like being off track. I do have to say though things went well for being off routine for the last two days.

Tomorrow is the rescheduled Create and Play with the MOMS Club that I and another mom is in charge of. It should be fun. I know the boy's will have fun. Hubby has been working overtime this week so seeing as we only have one vehicle the other mom that is also in charge of Create and Play is going to pick us up at 9:30 am. So I hope to get a little bit of school work done before going and finishing up when we get home. So once again our schedule will be off. I am just glad things are still running pretty smoothly even being off schedule.

Friday I don't have any plans so it will be a relaxing day. Hubby was thinking of going in pretty early on Friday at work so he can leave early. We shall see how that goes. Poor guy has been working a lot of overtime this week because his brother that works with him has had off for medical reasons. So he is pretty tired this week. I hope he gets some rest and sleep this weekend. What are your plans for the weekend?
