There must be that sense of achievement when it comes to grades, that we don't get the same hit from with with learning knowledge. Probably because it's not rewarded and praised like grades.
I love how knowledge can be passed on. Do you also have conversations about the eldest getting to do the lessons, but passing the knowledge onto the younger ones? I can see potential resentment from both ends. Part from the younger ones not be able to have the lessons and part from the eldest at feeling they had to take responsibilities the others don't have. Funnily enough, this comes more from my husband and sister-in-law's relationship than my girls'. I imagine you would discuss the why's and wherefores of this, though, just as I did with my girls. I think that when they see the reasoning behind what we choose to do as parents they are actually very good at understanding it.
