Talking to my wife this morning about schools in England, which - to my mind - have generally been higher quality than the run of the mill public school in the U.S., I learn that English school teachers aren’t correcting spelling. You read that right. The reason? So that they don’t negatively affect the student’s […]
First off, I - like you - have a vested interest in public education in Colorado. My family has taken a slightly different approach to our children’s education in that we’ve chosen to enroll Emma in the Colorado Virtual Academy. No, it’s not technically homeschooling, as any homeschooler will be sure to point out to you. This is […]

So I’m poking around on Emma’s school site (I can check her progress at work and even prep myself for a discussion with her on the specifics of her lessons) and came across an item on Bror Saxberg’s blog. He’s the Chief Learning Officer for K12, and one of the smartest people I’ve ever almost-met. […]

is up! As opposed to me. 5 straight days of rebuilding a database should look a lot more impressive than the 2 pieces of paper I gave my VP today. Maybe if I read Dana’s carnival I’ll have a better start next time!

Well, they are if you’re on a field trip to the Florida Everglades. Patricia Ann is there, and invites you in for a peek with this weeks’ Carnival of Homeschooling.

is up, over at Phat Mommy.
Great stuff, as always (I completely spaced last week’s, which was a great Schoolhouse Rock theme at The Lilting House). This week, even if you don’t go to the Carnival, you must read Fire in Mine Ears‘ submission. Really, you must.
According to the New York Times, it doesn’t really matter:
…many reformers have embraced the view that the public schools are irreparably broken and that students of all kinds need to be given vouchers to attend private or religious schools at public expense.
This belief, though widespread, has not held up to careful scrutiny. A growing body […]
Last month Emma finished Level 1 in the Hooked on Phonics that Grandma gave her for Christmas. We didn’t start it until February, so 5 months to get through was pretty reasonable, I thought. So last week she finished Level 2.
5 weeks. Dang. This from a 5 year old who regularly communicates with me […]
…while I wasn’t looking. The latest Carnival of Homeschooling is up over at The Homeschool Cafe. Sit down with a cuppa joe and follow the links!
by the U.N., of all people. If you’re a homeschooler in the U.S. be glad that you’re here and not in Brussels. Read this article - it outlines just how hypocritical a government agency can be in the name of Children’s Rights.
If the Belgian authorities decide to prosecute us we think we can win in […]
is up, over at Palmtree Pundit. I want to visit Anne!
The new Carnival of Homeschooling is up, over at Principled Discovery.
