Aargh….some time ago, a long time ago, I did a co op for workbooks. It was in the burst of enthusiasm that accompanied my decision to home ed, when I thought that that meant duplicating school at home. The workbooks have languised on the shelf for the best part of two years. Today dd has decided that workbooks are a good idea, and she’s done several pages of one called learn to read, and is now working on nursery all about. She is also driving me up the wall! She can do each of the things that is says to do, but she has to keep checking that she is doing it right – fallout from the nursery approach I feel. That’s fine, but ds wants feeding, I’m trying to do the washing, and I thought the whole idea of work books was that you might get slightly more than 30 seconds without being yelled at?

Still, it might mean we get the workbooks off the shelves and free up a bit of space, every cloud and all that!
