I {used to} Oppose Homeschooling

Want to know something interesting about me? Not so many years ago I was completely opposed to homeschooling . {Did that grab your attention??} My mom homeschooled my two brothers and wanted to homeschool me, but I refused. Call me the stubborn oldest child. The obstinate senior who wasn’t about to be yanked from the school I’d known for years just to sit at home. Besides. I’d seen homeschoolers. They were weird. VERY weird ~ and I wasn’t about to become one of them.

Your home school curriculum can also incorporate your own religious and moral beliefs, something that no one but you can teach your own child. By taking control of a child’s education a parent can shape that child’s value system better than any other way.

Homeschool Honesty

I need to fess up. It’s only been a few weeks since we started back to school, and we are already off track. It seems like no matter how many different ways I try to be the organized homeschool mom, those days are just gone. With all the business that comes from having children who are involved in different activities, it’s practically impossible to maintain any sort of schedule. In fact just when I think I have finally gotten a schedule down pat, something new comes along and changes eve

As a homeschooling family, my wife and I are very involved in our children’s education and since we’re both a couple of nerds, much of our children’s education is done on the computer. I was a bit curious to see if there were any good children’s educational programs for Linux; it turns out that there are some very good ones and I’m going to discuss 3 of them today.

Pledge to the Christian Flag and to the Bible

As our dear readers know, my son and I are now back homeschooling. Our class was on hold for a good couple of weeks because of the storm. It was during the time that our class was on hold, did I appreciate seeing my son draw and spell words (according to letter sounds-phonics) on his MegaSketcher. The curriculum does not encourage pushing a student his age to write yet. If at all, we trace the letters on air and focus more on getting the child learn about the letter sounds. Jed has memorized

Elmer’s Science Kits Using some hands on science kits is a neat way to teach younger kids science in a way the is fun for them. I believe that kids learn much more when they are interested in the material. When I began to homeschool my kids, that was one of the things I wanted to make sure I kept in mind.I didn’t want to forget the fact that we didn’t have to follow the same things that traditional school did.
