They really are learning so much every day. It doesn't look like school learning (textbooks, worksheets, tests, and only covering "what your Nth grader should know") but you know it is just as valuable, if not more so, because it wasn't fed to them and promptly forgotten; it was pursued with passion. When someone asks you what grade the kids are in, you have to think a minute. You keep busy helping them pursue their passions as well as their passing interests. You are on the lookout for new things you think they might enjoy. You can see them making connections in all sorts of unique and interesting ways, but sometimes you worry.
