Homeschooling is a legal and valid alternative to conventional schooling. Parents and students choose to homeschool for a variety of reasons: academic, religious, social, personal, safety, philosophical, and more. Regardless of the initial motivation, homeschooling nearly always develops into more than an alternative academic choice. Homeschooling becomes a lifestyle of personal and family responsibility, freedom and great joy. Continue reading

Demystifying Education Or, the ABC’s of Real Learning By Diana Waring When I started on the path of homeschooling twenty-five years ago, teaching a child to read (or anything else for that matter) seemed like a terrifying, somewhat unnatural activity for a parent without a degree in education.

It links you together in a personal way around interesting ideas and words. Young ones are soothed by the sound of our voices. I tend to be so much more calm when I am snuggled up on the couch enjoying a great book with them, rather than chasing them around the house trying to keep them out of mischief. Reading aloud builds warm memories, too! What will they fondly remember looking back to their childhoods — pages upon pages of worksheets or the great stories they read with Mom?
