School is such a small fraction of educating, really it is a big time waster in terms of what they learn from life... I could never have taught my kids patience and how to entertain your mind while enduring mind-numbing boredom from any book - lap book or not!!! Hang in there - you are teaching them a whole lot more than you can imagine!!!
