Some people get very worried when people homeschool their children that the children will have learning gaps. I think we all have learning gaps. I was in my 30s before I learned that dilemma didn’t have an n in it, something I learned incorrectly at public school. Beside that, things keep changing. Pluto is/is not a planet depending on who you talk to. I guess there’s a Southern Ocean now? The whole of Eastern Europe switched up AFTER we all memorized the USSR stuff. We always need to keep learning.
However, a great way to catch learning gaps is by simply talking with your children. For example:
Micah has his money bank in the school room and pulls out a dollar bill.
“Who’s that?”
“George Washington.”
“What’s he doing on my money?”
“He’s a president.”
“Does he live a long way from my house?”
“He’s dead.”
“From a laser beam?”
Obviously, we have a little educating to do here.
