Why Homeschool: Anti-homeschooling Views - part 2
I know a few families that have graduated from the virtual public schools to actual homeschooling, and a couple of ECOT grads who plan on homeschooling their own children. It requires a change in how you see the world, I think -- even bigger than the often traumatic changes families experience when they send their children to school for the first time. At least in that case, they usually have their own memories to draw upon, and tons of social pressure ensuring they'll follow through. What's...

Last night, I attended a presentation from a private religious college my daughter is considering. The price is right but the location is not our first choice. (However, it is still 3 times more expensive that the local community college options).
The main speaker made a point of distinguishing between "going to college" and "being a college student." He listed off the characteristics of "being a college student" that...

As a blog that encourages others to consider the benefits of homeschooling, I think you should also post the history of the movement. Since many homeschooling parents turn out to be the mom, I would like to direct my comments to them. As a mom, you know how much you love your children. Can you imagine how it would feel to have them taken from you? Well, one of the first mothers to home-school her children did lose them, and had to fight the state of New York and the local public...

Why Homeschool: Statistics on the traffice for the Carnival of ...
Just over two years ago our readers selected three images to represent the Carnival of Homeschooling. I set things up so people who wanted to help support the carnival could copy some HTML code to their blog or web site. The image would appear, along with a link back to the carnival. I loaded the images up on PhotoBucket back then and didn't think too much more about it. Today I went to PhotoBucket and happened to check the statistics. The small image right now averages about 1000 downloads a...
