Presidential Address To Our Children
September 9th, 2009 | 
Author: 
Did you watch it? Did you watch it with your children? I watched it with Steve, but haven’t watched it with my sons yet. I”m planning on it though. I realize there’s been a lot of controversy over this speech to our children, which has made me glad that I’m homeschooling and the choice is totally up to me and not the school district. However, I do think it’s important for our children to see this speech.

Another Reason to Homeschool
Deciding to homeschool is not an easy decision for parents to make. I often find myself at a loss for words, specifics, and examples of why I homeschool when I’m in the middle of a discussion (or as sometimes it feels with family members, and intervention). Of course every day I hear about more stories about what’s happening in our public schools that make me go “THATS another reason I homeschool!” Here are a few of those such articles!

Las Vegas Homeschool Events
I have to say one of the great things about living here in Las Vegas is the extremely large and active homeschooling community. Not only are there tons of great homeschool support groups, but the laws here in NV are very friendly to homeschoolers! There are also tons of various city wide homeschool events for kids of all ages. I love them so much, that I thought I’d list a few of the great things going on here in my area.

Are You Really Surprised?
Is anyone really surprised that a nation with compulsory government education would one day require compulsory government healthcare too? – Spunky HomeSchool
This is a question posed on a Facebook Friends status, which was passed around from one homeschooler to another. And it’s so very true. Are you really surprised that this is the way our nation is going?
