on 7/10/2008 I applaud the reference to unschooling and refraining from recommending that the homeschool family used the district's textbooks. I am very pleased to see some changes in the homeschooling articles lately, as I had gotten very disillusioned with the "school at home" bias many articles here had.

on 11/22/2005 To keep your home schooled children in the social school scene, take advantage of the free afterschool programs and local teen centers. These turned out to be a life saver for my children as they are able to play and interact with children their own age that they choose themselves (without some one else's idea of education being forced on them). It is also a great way to compare what you are teaching your children to what is being given at school.
