Your learners are living in their present,
and not in your past. They value what they see you doing now, and not
what you did five. ten, or fifteen years ago. If they see you watching
soap operas, doing household chores, and chatting on the telephone while
they are studying, they will know that such things are more important
than learning. But if you see you hard at work on your own study plans — even just 30 minutes a day
— and if they see you laboring over their
lesson plans for the next day, they will realize the value of learning.
The following programs are intended for you,
the homeschooling mentor. Find a topic that is important or interesting
for you, and then approach it with the enthusiasm and tenacity of a
serious student. Keep a learning journal, take lots of notes, look up supporting resources on the Web,
discuss your work with your family and your home school learners. They
might not understand your work in detail, but they will certainly feel
infected with your enthusiasm and determination to succeed.
