Not Another Homeschool Blog

Is it Tuesday? Wow! That fact totally got by me. This week we are off schedule having just finished a run of Pride and Prejudice. The kids only had Chorus and my daughter had a drama workshop today.

Here are a few of my articles I have written in the last few weeks regarding homeschooling and education. Newsflash! All Homeschoolers are Not Conservative Proof that all homeschoolers are not conservative... I watch Hardball with Chris Matthews. While Chris Matthews would not characterize himself as liberal (which I also do not) he is certainly far from conservative. Homeschoolers Are Not Entitled to Free School Online The Missouri Virtual School which many homeschoolers use to teach their kids for free is in danger of shutting down due to a lack of funding. Missouri Virtual Instruction, also called MoVIP has allowed many public school students as well as homeschoolers to take courses online for free. Think You're Against Homeschooling?

Welcome to the October 27, 2009 edition of Carnival of Educators. The absence of the Carnival of Education left a hole in my life.  I didn't know about Educarnival v2 but that one is silent right now too.  Anyway, I decided it was time to get another carnival going.  I am however looking for volunteer hosts.  I can't do it alone.   More info here.  I should also point out that I did not include posts that were not done by educators, hence the name, Carnival of Educators.  That can include teachers, college professors, homeschooling parents, school administrators, and tutors, and a select few others dedicated to education.  I am trying to make this a junk-free carnival. With that said, we got a pretty good response for a first carnival, and I am happy to compile it.  Here are the entries for Carnival of Educators, A Week of Firsts. Let's start if off with the first family: Mary Ann Zehr presents Obama Keeps Track of What His...
