The horrific news from Haiti has filled your living room. News reports a unimaginable death toll between 100,000 to 200,000 people. 3 million people were affected.

At the same time, a growing body of Continue reading A Parent’s Right To Raise Their Children I find it interesting that a high school principal can see the problem, but not our society.

How many times have you thought: Homeschooling is tough because…… “There’s so much to do!”The flip side: Homeschooling is great, because while our children are still at home, we get to re-prioritize our lives and let go Continue reading Two Sides to Every Coin April 12th, 2009 | Category: Articles, Homeschooling: All Things, In the News, Parenting | Leave a comment One of the most difficult tasks to accomplish with homeschooling is planning your schedule.

Hornberger While the nation is on the subject of socialism, we really ought to talk about public schooling.
