Late Outta the Gate, plus plans

I haven't yet thrown together my post for this month's Homeschooling High School Carnival, on the topic of independence. Please go visit Leonie and all our friends at Living Without School for some good discussion on this theme. Maybe I'll get it together by the end of today . . .

(UPDATE:  Or maybe I won't)

Meanwhile . . .

I'm mulling a longer post about my primary kids and their work routines, because we have done some tweaking and changing that's serving us well right now, though I'm still very happy with most of my original choices for this year. More later . . .
