What are you all up to today?

[Marjoriew]

It's gone quiet here - just wondering what you are all up to.
Grandson was up at 7 am. What's an Achilles Heel?
So we researched that>which lead on to doing some stuff on the Greeks>to getting out the skeleton poster>to learning about the bones in the body>to making a pasta skeleton>to making up the Glow in the Dark jigsaw we got in the charity shop.

Now I've got me feet up with a bacon sandwich and a mug of tea and grandson is on his trampoline in the garden.

Oh, chatterbocs, you have my sympathies. It seems that boys this age are a common source of worry and strife. I can't give you any advice, I'm sorry. Just remember that you are not alone. I really don't want to send my 13 year old back to school, but feel that I may have to.

Mine is going back to school in spetember (his choice) He will be 14 when he starts back. We have a couple of IGCSE's already but he will be returning to do the rest.

Not quite sure how I feel about it tbh. On the one hand his social life seems to be drying up. , as well as finding it quite difficult to get him motivated for any kind of study! As for the fun stuff we have a great time.

Up to this age there are plenty of home ed groups for them to join in, plus all the usual football clubs, cubs scouts, rugby etc, but teens don't seem to want to do this after 14 and he wants more of a social life with his peers, so we shall see how it goes.
