Inservice Days

I have fought Inservice Days all year.

Why should homeschoolers have these odd days off? There is no reason why Mi'ita should take February 1st off. I would like to make her work it.

None of her friends have to go to school tomorrow. When that happens she invariably wants them to come over and play. Important for socialization, don't you think? Especially for an only child.

I'd like to make her work in the morning, get her work done, then invite a friend over.

She has a friend over tonight, though, and the house is a complete disaster from her weekend birthday party, and we have to go to the library in the afternoon. Doesn't leave a whole lot of room for math.

Maybe I'll make her do some math after her friend goes home, do some home economics house cleaning, go to the library in the afternoon, and call the rest a draw. Or better yet, make her write thank you notes for her gifts.

Ugh. If we had no connection to the local public school, it wouldn't be an issue. It's Monday. We work on Mondays. Get to work!
