We use Quarter Mile Math in our homeschool. I really like this math program. It is not a full math curriculum–instead it is a fun way for kids to practice their math facts.
The program is simple–Your child competes in a quarter mile race against four other opponents. During the first few rounds, kids...

I have had to add to my sources of income. Homeschooling precludes me from working outside the home and while my writing covers some of the expenses, there are times when it is not enough. In addition to writing, I have an Amazon.com store where I am selling books we no longer need. It is easier and more...

Clarification of Arkansas Homeschool Law : : Thrifty Homeschooling ...
If the “school provided” is a neighbor, relative or co-op it is still a homeschool unless the school is a public, private or charter school registered in the state of Arkansas. Here is a link to the actual law so you can read it and make your own determination. Another link of interest is the Arkansas Homeschool Rules and Regulations.
I hope that this clears up any questions about who can teach your kids if you homeschool.

Should Arkansas Homeschool Laws be Changed? : : Thrifty ...

I personally oppose changes to the homeschool law regarding testing and withdraw from public school. The law is clear on what is to occur if a family fails to...
