Curriculum
Ideas A growing area of curriculum suggestions, as well as ideas on how
to homeschool inexpensively. Realistic, affordable ideas, as well as
reality checks!
Leadership
Position Papers
Opinions, white
papers, and sometimes controversial papers from HSC and others about
homeschooling from a Christian worldview.
State
Laws & Support Individual pages for states and countries to help you with state-specific
questions, including book suggestions, driver's ed, support groups,
and more.
Here are stories of families
who have taken their children out of classroom schools in order to homeschool
them.
These stories are examples
of the many people, from everyday folks to highly paid professionals,
who have turned their backs on wealth, public opinion, and "the
way it is done" to forge a new path into the rewarding homeschooling
lifestyle.
If you have a story to share,
please e-mail Martha Robinson
and include a short bio and optional picture. We would prefer stories
written by parents who been homeschooling at least 6 months after the
transition home.
*Please read these first
before reading them to your children--some stories are a bit on the
graphic side giving examples of government school horror stories.
