To stop or not to stop?  That is the question... that many homeschoolers face at summer vacation! How do you summer homeschool?

Summer vacation is the perfect time to explore new homeschooling options and methods. Why not try a new schedule over the summer. You don't have to keep it if you don't like it - but you will probably gain much insight into how to make your homeschool work better (and be more fun).
