"What
is most important and valuable about the home as a base
for children's growth into the world is not that it
is a better school than the schools, but
that it isn't a school at all." |

"We're not trying to do "School
at Home." We're trying to do homeschool. These are
two entirely different propositions. We're not trying to
replicate the time, style or content of the
classroom. Rather we're trying to cultivate a lifestyle
of learningin which learning takes place from morning
until bedtime 7 days each week.
The "formal"
portion of each teaching day is just the tip of the
iceburg." |

What is a

not the time to teach reading or math. We should use

Little Ones "We
destroy the love of learning in children, which is so
strong when they are small, by encouraging and compelling
them to work for petty rewards--gold stars, or papers
marked 100 and tacked to the wall, or A's on report
cards, or honor rolls, or dean's lists or Phi Beta Kappa
keys--in short, for the ignoble satisfaction of feeling
that they are better than someone else." Early

Playhouse "When
you want to teach children to think, you begin by
treating them seriously when they are little, giving them
responsibilities, talking to them candidly, providing
privacy and solitude for them, and making them readers
and thinkers of significant thoughts from the beginning.
That's if you want to teach them to think." |

and the Home School "Thats my own
concept of my job - arming her with the tools she needs
to succeed on her own, and making course corrections
along the way. When you think about it - if I taught my
daughter only what I knew, no matter how knowledgable I
was - I'd be limiting her severely." |

Beyond Home School "To
confuse compulsory schooling with equal educational
opportunity is like confusing organized religion with
spirituality. One does not necessarily lead to the other.
Schooling confuses teaching with learning, grade
advancement with education, a diploma with competence,
and fluency with the ability to say something new."

"Nothing enrages me more than
when people criticize my criticism of school by telling
me that schools are not just places to learn maths and
spelling, they are places where children learn a vaguely
defined thing called socialization. I know. I think
schools generally do an effective and terribly damaging
job of teaching children to be infantile, dependent,
intellectually dishonest, passive and disrespectful to
their own developmental capacities." |

Welcome to our homeschooling
resource page. I have spent many hours reading and
searching the internet for helpful information about
homeschooling. I designed this page to serve as a place
to share the information I have found, as well as to
welcome you into our world as a homeschooling family.
Please take a look around! ~Faith
Recent estimates put
the number of homeschooled children in the U.S. at 2
million (although it is hard to determine the exact
number since the methods for counting homeschooled
children vary between states). This number is steadly
growing as more children are homeschooled each year.
