Thank you for the link to this very timely and thought-provoking article. I'd heard about the benefits of delayed formal mathematics in the book Teaching the Triviium. I admit, as a former classroom teacher, I was quite skeptical. But for the past year or so, my 8 year old has struggled with basic math concepts in our homeschool. The frustration has been mounting to the point where I was considering just dumping the math workbook altogether for a time. This may have been the push I needed to take that jump!

Makes me feel better about the unschooling approach we take to spelling!
