Hello!
I took my 9 year old ds out of school a couple of months ago. So far, we have not been doing anything that is 'officially' educational as I have decided to let him deschool for a while as he had such a bad time at school. (We do read in the evenings together, go to museums, cook etc).
The problem I have is if I try to introduce anything vaguely school like he refuses to have anything to do with it, ie any kind of learning websites etc.
If we are out he is ok, but left to his own devices at home he will go from minecraft, to some cr@p on the tv to the occasional shooting of Nerf guns.
School seems to have instilled in him that learning is boring. Not sure how to turn that around. Should I carry on deschoooling in the hope that this will change, or does anyone have any ideas on how to make learning fun again.
Thanks for reading. Any advice welcome!
