I am a second-generation homeschooler. As a result, I have heard many, if not all, of the excuses people offer up as to why they cannot or will not home educate their children.

Well, I am back with part 2 of my homeschool success series. Home education allows your children to develop a life-time of learning, it does not squelch all of the joy out of  the experience, as often occurs in the traditional school model. Homeschooling allows your children to learn in a safe environment free from violence [...]

I think it is about time for an entry depicting the over-whelming success of home education. Studies have shown, traditional school is simply inferior in pretty much every way measurable. I have found personal testimony to be a powerful advocate for homeschooling myself, but let’s face it, some people need or want numbers and statistics. [...]
