My Final thoughts on the California Ruling

Read my related article on Families.com

Ps... I have nothing against conservative Christians... I am one. I just don't like exclusivity.

update: After getting a You-Tube comment from someone who claimed to be involved with the case in question, I decided to research the case to make sure I was being fair to the family. While I have not heard from the family specifically (who I don't intend to call on the phone based on court records or personality)

If you want to know more about the specific case, which is worse than I imagined... go here:


Thanks.

Best Homeschool Video

Larel Springs an online homeschooling website has announced the winner of the "Why homeschool is cool" contest.

Hazel Newlevant, 15, of Portland, Oregon, an artistic and creative homeschool student, received the coveted grand prize title and $1,000 for her video entry entitled "What I like About Homeschooling." Hazel drew black and white illustrations that she brought to life with full animation. The video expresses that the world is a homeschool student's classroom, not a homeroom -- showing that homeschool students can read, paint and do science experiments outside with other homeschool students. Hazel also provided the background piano music, Edvard Greig's "Watchman's Song." View Hazel's video at http://www.laurelsprings.com/videocontest/

Check it out... it's quite cool.

Homeschooling is timeless

One of the things I like the most about homeschooling is that you can go by your own timeline, within reason. If you are sleepy, then you sleep a little longer. If yu are hungry, you stop what you are doing and eat. If you want to do something fun, interesting, or creative, you can always finish your work later.

This video gives a good visual of that sentiment.

Homeschoolers and the Doctor

My kids just got a new doctor who is very engaging and positive about homeschooling... other doctors, just tried not to mention it... This one took 15 minutes to explain the organic fish tank she was building.

She did say that she admired the way we were combining classes and homeschooling... I wonder if she would feel the same if we were unschooling!

Here is a you-tube funny about doctors and homeschooling.

My son has taken over Christmas

I haven't lifted a finger so far this season. All of the decorations you see have been compliments of my son and his dad. Now he is trying to learn this This Christmas song. He has been playing it every morning. It is great to wake up to the sound of the piano playing... even if he doesn't have it perfected.
