Who starts school in August?

Homeschooling moms on Facebook: We are starting school August 1st, so we can take more breaks during the school year.

Me: That’s nuts it is way too early to start school!

Also Me: Hey Merry I forgot to schedule you days off for your trip with your aunts so you need to start early.

So I realized I had forgotten to schedule merry’s vacation and as a result she is doing one lesson a day (of just one subject). She gets to ease into school.


As you can see she is thrilled to be starting a little early. Some teenagers would roll their eyes and glare but not Merry. Although she may have felt a little betrayed since I brought up the idea by saying, “Hey, want to do a fun experiment”. And then after we started setting up told her we would need to read the lesson and answer a few questions first.


The experiment itself was fun, so I didn’t lie. And it involved playing with electricity.


Merry surprised me with her intense observations.


She was less enthusiastic about writing the lab report but she didn’t complain.

A single lesson isn’t really starting, right?
