Bailout for the failing educational system?!
A day or two days off blossomed.. For me it’s the busiest time of year, one thing pops up after another. I am not complaining though. The Lord has sent one blessing after another and I am grateful.
I am working hard on some curriculum choices for the fall. I am hoping to begin selling some [...]
Unschooling is working!
In the last few days with this dust up over unschooling there have been all sorts of posts written for and against. I would like to point out that this type of unschooling is the extreme side of homeschooling but a VALID form of educating your child. Here is a wonderful family story of a [...]

This is the fight that a gifted christian will [...]
Is the health care plan truely healthy for America?
I would like to ask you, do you think this health care reform bill will help you and your children?
I am happy that this newest legislation cuts most (BUT NOT ALL) funding for abortion. I would be happier with no funding for any abortions. I would like to point out that when you have a [...]
Horrifying treatment of a special needs child
If you needed another reason to homeschool here it is. Teacher Poisons Student with Autism from Aspieweb.net Special education teacher Trinda Barocas from Indianapolis, Indiana allegedly tried to poison a asperger’s child. There appears to be a systematic abuse of this child and possibly others by this teacher. Rightfully so she is not teaching at [...]
IEP meetings gone wrong
HSLDA was able to intervene on behalf of Iowa special needs homeschoolers recently. A school district was attempting to role back the legislative clock and
“If your child is currently identified as a child requiring special education, a hearing must be held with the IEP team prior to being approved for competent private instruction [homeschooling].”
