Thats hilarious, but too common. I meet a lot of people who claim they don't homeschool because they can't afford. Ummm, how can you not afford free? We're far below the middle income bracket, bordering on the poverty scale. But I'm creative, resourceful, and frugal. So we live quite well and can homeschool for free.

Hmmmm….. I can’t stand when parents brag about their kids. I thought one of the reasons to homeschool was to get away from labels. Maybe that was just one of my reasons to homeschool. Both “LD” and “gifted” are labels. I use labels sometimes to get a point across. But it just bugs me when people talk about their kids IQ or giftedness.
I have heard that reasoning before… homeschoolers need to have their kids in public school to raise the education of public schools and make it fair for people not in a position to homeschool. Well, I homeschool for MY kids’ benefit, I am not going to choose a lower standard for my kids to help someone else’s kid. (but her leaning in and out and taping is getting to me…LOL)

Can people make money with youtube???

anyway—I am new to Blogspot (but not homeschooling). I am browsing other blogs to get connected to other homeschoolers.

I only use labels as a point of reference... this video was initially published for non homeschoolers, and they need a point of reference.... I'll try to sit still next time.

On being black and homeschooling.

If you didn't know my race previously, you do now. I am black. (african american, brown, non-white... whatever) There has been a great stir in the news lately because the number of black homeschooling has suddenly increased. As a black person, homeschooling is not a decision to be made lightly. "for the black community, teaching at home was frowned on because of the civil rights battle to get into public schools in the first place. Mike Smith with the Home School Legal Defense Association says the times are changing." But just as those first pioneers forced thier way into public schools to get quality educations for thier children , many people like myself are now fleeing. Why so late in the game? Easy... we didn't feel welcome, at first. Here's my personal story: I first looked into homeschooling when I lived in New Orleans. I called the local homeschool association and had a very pleasant conversation in length. Finally, I was invited to come to a homesc...

Problems with Frontier

If you've kept up with my sporadic blog, you know I spend a good year commuting to and from NYC, where my husband was working.  I tried several different types of transportation, as all that travel gets expensive. I ended up using Frontier, for most of my travel as if I traveled in advance it was dirt cheap... but dirt cheap is well... dirty and cheap. Like that time I took the China bus and spend several hours locked in a frantic gaze with a cockroach. So anyway, here are the problems I have had, the last one, I am currently still having. 1. Dirty...  The airplane itself could be cleaner.... but when flights are dirt cheap, you are dealing with a population that gives a pass on that, so between the effort to clean and the fact that everyone is getting on with enough food to last on a 3 month Trek to Alaska, then nastiness will happen. Frontier is the MegaBus of the air. 2. A-la-cart.  Sure, you can fly to NYC and back for $$60.00, but that's just for you, your lu...

Are You Paying the “Scholarship Tax”?

Image
  Why families in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, and beyond are paying 20–50% more for homeschool supplies — and how to stop it. If you are one of the thousands of families using a state-funded Education Savings Account (ESA) or scholarship to educate your child, you might be noticing a disturbing trend. The money in your account seems to disappear faster than it should. https://medium.com/@ahermitt/are-you-paying-the-scholarship-tax-5e2f63500ef7
