When I decided to home school, my very first step was to determine how to lay a firm foundation. Everything is built on this foundation, so it is important to be sure it is firm. “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house [...]  No doubt about it, if you homeschool you will encounter your share of skeptics. Some people believe homeschooling will make it harder for your kids to be successful. Hmm….it seems to me that most “successful” people throughout history, that have been homeschooled. I mean, considering that widespread and mandatory schooling is something from the recent [...]  Unschooling is a method of learning that is not set in stone. In fact, it tends to mean different things to different people. It is the preferred teaching method of a great number of homeschooling families. Unschooling is natural learning, which is based for the most part on day-to-day life experiences. It is not based on [...]  The classical homechooling method is a very structured approach.

It was only in the second half of the 19th century that states began passing laws compelling parents to send their children to public schools. The modern home [...] I find that one of the most frustrating things about working and educating at home. Sometimes the isolation can make you crazy!
