If This is a Staff Meeting, It Must be Social Studies, by Caryn Sobel

Last month, we paid off the debt. I now see a "normal schedule" in my
near future, and I have finally allowed myself to examine how working
has affected our home education. Before this, I wouldn't dwell on the
subject - we've all had that feeling, "If I stand still to examine
this, it will all fall apart!"

"H is for Homeschooling," by Scott Stevens

P is for Parents who chose to give their children a chance to learn

responsibility for educating their children without the financial
support of government institutions.

I watch our kids and grandkids playing together on this Easter
morning and smile to myself. It's nice to see them gathered here,
smiling and laughing, simply enjoying each other's company. I think

the future. The little exchanges which might seem to be mere playing
around or goofing off are, in actuality, links being forged, threads
being woven.

Problems with Putting Public E-Schools in Homes, by Larry and Susan Kaseman

We need to establish and maintain the distinction between homeschools
and cyber charter schools, in the media and in the general public's

called public e-schools, with e- standing for electronic as in
e-mail, e-commerce, etc.
