Thursday is theater day for Annie and Bryan. They have a three hour class in the morning and a two hour class in the evening. In the morning class, there are only homeschoolers. This semester, they are working on "The Apple Tree," which Annie likes and Bryan despises. Very seldom do either of them despise a show. So, it will be nice to leave this one behind.
In the evening class (which also meets on Saturdays) they are both really enjoying "Look Homeward Angel." They both have large parts in each show. Lots of lines to learn! This class includes homeschoolers, public schoolers and private schoolers. A nice bunch of kids.
Also, our Thursday routine includes time with their grandfather. My dad picks them up for lunch and they have a great time. Lately, Dad has looked over Annie's physics homework and gets a kick out of how much she likes it.
I'm glad that they have time to spend with him. They will treasure it. Life is about people of ALL ages interacting, rather than artificial age-segregation that ends when school ends. Where else in life does it show up? So how does it prepare for the "real world?" I venture that it does not.
