ORVA (like ORCA only better?)

Okay, deja vu? I am enrolling in ORVA. WHY, do you ask? Why go through the attendance craziness? The following the teachers advice? The rote memorization? The curriculum that means nada? WHY?

Schedule, organization, accountability.

Don't ya know I am a Libra, balance is pretty much tattoo'd on my brain waves. We unschool one year, then do something like ORCA. Then decompress on year, then attempt some other elaborate plan. I like to say I am consistent, but I am only consistent at INconsistancy. Just think, my kids will be able roll with whatever life throws there way (kidding).

We are going to *try* it until Winter break (we start in Sept) and see how it goes. Will keep everyone posted. Yes, this is against my homeschooling philosophies, but frankly, we gotta shake up the rut somehow!
