For many high schoolers, the words “college applications” loom like a dark cloud over senior year. These words, while possibly exciting, often hint at things foreign and unknown–the college experience. *Dun. DUn. DUN.*

Back in “my day” as a homeschooling highschooler, I remember feeling that the pressure was doubled when it came to college applications. Why? Well, looking back on it, the fear wasn’t super logical. I made great grades and was involved in plenty of extracurricular activities.

I should probably preface all of this by letting you know that my husband and I were both homeschooled, and now we’re homeschooling parents. Anyway, his comment about bats in the freezer (in response to rocks in the freezer) got me thinking:

Because Sometimes Learning Stops

Learning never stops. That’s what homeschooling mamas like to say – sometimes in kind of a snippy little way. Don’t get mad. You know it’s true. Sometimes.

If you’re one of those homeschooling mamas (or dads) under whose watch learning (at least the formal variety) really does never stop, move along. There’s nothing to see here.

However, if you’re one of those homeschooling mamas at a house where formal learning comes to a screeching halt on the last day of school before summer break and your kids have entirely too much screen time all summer long and you feel guilty because learning clearly has stopped, read on.
