Most of his later years of homeschooling were hands on projects. He learned more that way than book learning. He was an avid reader and loved to even read encyclopedias. He would go to the library and come home with a stack of books so varied in subjects that I wondered how he even had time to go to that many areas of the library. He is now a contractor with his own business who has a great name for his conduct and his work. All of his jobs have been coming due to word of mouth of other customers. I think hands on is the way to go, especially for older boys. If they have a love for reading they will pick up lots of the other stuff.Marcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837798938089334872noreply@blogger.com
