"And what is a good citizen? Simply one who never says, does or thinks anything that is unusual. Schools are maintained in order to bring this uniformity up to the highest possible point. A school is a hopper into which children are heaved while they are still young and tender; therein they are pressed into certain standard shapes and covered from head to heels with official rubber-stamps." H. L. Mencken |

Wanted: Homeschool Teacher "Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us." Psalm 68:28 Now accepting applications After reading the above qualifications, no wonder many parents walk away from this employment opportunity. Who can measure up to these standards? Praise God, you can! As you step out in faith and yield your weaknesses to God's strength, you'll not only get the job, you'll also successfully homeschool and discover the fantastic benefits of teaching your children at home. "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might." (Ephesians 6:10) |

My goal for home education is to raise independent free-thinkers. |

"Children do not need to be made to learn to be better, told what to do or shown how. If they are given access to enough of the world, they will see clearly enough what things are truly important to themselves and to others, and they will make for themselves a better path into that world then anyone else could make for them" ~John Holt (1923-1985) American Educator, How Children Fail |

"All Fords are exactly alike, but no two men are just alike. Every new life is a new thing under the sun; there has never been anything just like it before, never will be again. A young man ought to get that idea about himself; he should look for the single spark of individuality that makes him different from other folks, and develop that for all he is worth. Society and schools may try to iron it out of him; their tendency is to put it all in the same mold, but I say don't let that spark be lost; it is your only real claim to importance." Henry Ford |

Pliny, Aristotole, Charles Darwin, Carolus Linnaeus, Audubon, Pasteur, Thoreau and Thomas Jefferson were all Naturalists. We really enjoy studying nature and journaling. |

"Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil." ~C.S. Lewis |

"Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude." ~Alexis de Toqueville |

My Math Reviews Teaching Textbooks is AWESOME! I have read some reviews that say it doesn't cover everything, it's made for HS'ers, it's for those who hate math...blah...blah The length of the math lesson depends on the child, I would guess. It goes pretty smooth here. Chalkdust -very expensive, mastery. Thinkwell - Jacobs -only has Alg1 and Geometry. Lial -it looked very dry when I saw it. Foerster's and Dolciani are considered more high school level. Video Text - Though if your child is working ahead then it's whatever level they are at. If your not at high school level then there are so many to choose from; Horizons -Christian, spiral, colorful workbooks SOS -Christian, computer based Rod & Staff -Mennonite, mastery, non-consumable, black and white, goes up to 8th grade AO -Christian, mastery Scott Foresman -mastery Saxon -spiral/incremental, constant review, scripted TM, black and white BJU -mastery, non-scripted TM, colorful workbooks Abeka -spiral, a lot of teacher interaction, colorful CLE -spiral MUS -mastery My Fathers World MCP -mastery Rigth Start -spiral, teacher intensive Singapore -colorful textbooks, not much review I do NOT recommend: Life of Fred by Stanley Schmidt. |

"Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." ~Deuteronomy 6:5-7 |
