Quote #12.

Here's this week's:

By learning you will teach, by teaching you will learn. –Latin Proverb

This is so, spot-on, true. As a homeschool mom, I find this ALL the time. One of the best ways for me to teach my boys is by example. By watching me learn new things, they see the value of looking for answers…they accept that no one knows everything…and they discover the process of educating one’s self. And in almost every lesson I teach, I learn something new…even when it’s not anything to do with the subject at hand.

(Incidentally, for the many parents out there who would love to homeschool but think that they don’t know enough, I can tell you for darn sure that I don’t know enough. I'm constantly coming across stuff that I only vaguely remember or have no recollection of whatsoever. But. I can learn it alongside my boys. And that works just dandy.)
