Around the question again

I've been debating the together or apart thing for the last wee while, each day I think I have it sorted out, then I get swayed again by the options. Or maybe it is just comparing the dream of a neat home-school experience with what we actually are meant to be doing - learning.

Together seems to have so many advantages - apart we seem much more settled. It's just mum that needs to get her head around it.

But as we finish of the science units which we started independently and which I simply don't have the heart to combine - I can see each of them learning at their own pace, getting excited in their own ways.

So once again we are aiming for separate studies, hopefully this time it stays sorted.
