Why Taking it Slow May Sometimes Be the Best Route

  Faster, faster, faster! Our world constantly screams at us to do it faster and better. There is no time for the enjoyment, the journey. It’s only the destination that matters. But is this really true? Is this what we should be attaining with our children’s education? Should we cram them full of as much

Five Ideas for High School Co-op Classes

  Last year, my oldest homeschooler entered the high school years. This was a little bit of a daunting milestone, as keeping a transcript and tracking credits felt like the kind of unchartered territory that was going to send me running for the safety net of the high school registrar’s office. Thankfully, I’ve been blessed

How 3 Homeschool Moms Taught Local History

  What if your best history moments are not buried in textbooks but in your hometown? Knowing what others have done before us shapes our beliefs about today, and what we leave behind tomorrow. Nothing makes history more personal than stories hidden where we live, work, and sleep. That’s all history is, anyway: stories about

Lessons Learned from an Ox

  Once, in a Bible study group, we were asked to share a recent passage that had impacted us. Since I had been reading through Proverbs, I knew immediately which verse I was going to use. I also knew it was going to raise a few eyebrows. “Where no oxen are, the crib is clean:

A Teen’s Perspective of Public School

  I have to start by saying our kids have been homeschooled from the beginning. A few years ago when we were moving across the country, our oldest was an upcoming freshman. We were moving into a high school that looked great on paper. I had a few good reasons for considering public school for

How to Guarantee Your Son Won’t Learn to Read

  I was about to pull my hair out, and my son was near tears. It was reading time again, and as usual, it was not going well. I was frustrated, and he was depressed. What was I doing so wrong? I had started out so hopeful. I had started him out at 2 1/2

Life Skills: Are You Teaching Them?

  Did you know that June 13th is National Weed Your Garden Day? Weed Your Garden Day doesn’t hold the same appeal for me as say, National Doughnut Day (which is also in June), but it brings up a few questions. For one, who comes up with a National Weed Your Garden Day? Is there,

Be Available for Learning

  I picked up a phrase a year or so ago that I regularly include in my thoughts, my homeschooling efforts, and my advice to others: Always be learning. It’s short and simple because I need simple reminders I can apply to every area of my life to keep me focused on the right stuff.
