Best to be flexible when setting homeschool goals.
Stuff breaks. People get sick. Things have a way of misplacing themselves.
It’s important to take your homeschooling seriously, to set goals, to persevere.
It’s just as important (especially for the Type-A folks among us) to keep it flexible.
Where would you be wise to bend a little today?
True story:
I was asked to put together a small ensemble of musicians from our homeschool praise band to play two songs at our homeschool community’s graduation this afternoon. I tried, but people’s schedules just didn’t cooperate. Finally yesterday morning I simply contacted the coordinator of the event, told her the situation, and together we said, “Oh, what a shame. It would have been nice to have the kids play.” And then we moved on to plan B for the event. The world did not actually come to an end. We were flexible, and it was a blessing.
Remember: You can’t fit everything in but you can be creative so that your teens has the academics they need and the extracurricular experiences they need. Here’s a post to help figure out how to fit things in for homeschool high school.

Here’s my take on that: Have a plan, but when something better comes along, ditch the plan.
Amen to that, Maureen!
