The education of my children is my responsibility. I cannot wait for corrupt officials to become upright. I cannot wait for the government to send funding my way. My children only have one life, and I must do everything possible to secure the best available education for them.
We need more documentaries like these videos.
Unlike almost all Dad’s and many Mom’s, I get to eat lunch with my kids most days of the year. Actually I usually eat all three meals with my family. It may sound simple, but its a great benefit of homeschooling. I am actually sitting down to write this post after enjoying a great lunch of sausage, egg and cheese filled biscuits fresh from the oven. The kids loved them and we all ate together.
Some days I work from my home office making our family lunch time the obvious choice. If I have to work away from the house, I am usually close enough to take a break and spend lunch time at home.

I took a quick look at the Tides website and noticed their mission statement:
Our mission is to partner with philanthropists, foundations, activists, and organizations across the country and across the globe to promote economic justice, robust democratic processes, and the opportunity to live in a healthy and sustainable environment where human rights are preserved and protected.
I hope most people will recognize that the term “economic justice” as a politically correct way of saying Read the rest of this entry »

This site exists to answer the many skeptics and critics of homeschooling. Many question the quality of education a home schooled child is receiving. Others wonder how they will ever develop needed social skills. I have grown weary of people’s reactions to learning my children do not attend the state’s child training facilities. Whenever they glare, I smile and politely explain how my children are far ahead of their public school counterparts, and they are adapting quite well socially.
However, I really want to explain to them Read the rest of this entry »
