I know you have this thing against worksheets but my kids actually love worksheets. Worksheets are generally meant as review because your brain works by remembering information by reviewing it multiple times. It's not busy work. Not liking them is a personality thing not an across the board child thing. I mean I know you can only speak to your own experience but you should consider everybody is not like you and your children. ;) - 30 year homeschooling mom
