We took the day off with all the other schoolers for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We've been reading some books about his life, and did a simple project this morning, cutting out hand shapes and writing in the names of all the people we love and connecting them into a wreath. A sort of loving and helping motif thing. But honestly, I don't think I've done much of a job getting L to understand the civil rights movement or racism. When I asked her what she remembered about MLK from our reading, she said that long ago, white people didn't like Asians. Close, I guess.
I've just read an interesting essay by a professor who is homeschooling his kids, in which he details why he's doing it, which I can really relate to.
