“A child should always study in a conventional school and know about the real world”- this is what people usually say, but don’t worry as homeschooling is the best topic that can be argued on and won. A conventional school does not truly reflect the truth; it only portrays a much-distorted view of the real world because schools amplify every emotion within a child and become a place where every teenager dictates his or her hierarchy and social acceptability. Adults rule in a conventional school and children control the social strata, then where is the place for your child to progress? Read the rest of this entry »

Don’t have an idea how to celebrate Valentine’s day this year?  Don’t want to exclude the kids?  Maybe your homeschooling group is having a Valentine’s Day Celebration?  Here’s the perfect solution!

I realize I”ve been a way from this blog for a while now.  I kept meaning to update people and write about our adventures in High school and Jr. High. but really my business has grown to the point where that’s taking up most of my time now.  However, things have been going really well for both of the boys in school.

Jack has been doing his work with Time4Learning, and is almost done with all of the 7th grade work and will be going onto 8th grade work shortly.  He may even be able to go on ahead into High School in the fall.  If he does, then he’ll more than likely start using Odyssey Charter with Roger because I really like the way things are done at that school.

Roger has been doing PE two days a week and going to campus one day a week.  This has been giving him a lot of independance and he’s been making friends and doing really well.  He’s even got a girlfriend now and they will be going to the Las Vegas Homeschool Prom next month.

So basically everything is going really well, if a little hectic because of the business.  I feel a little guilty because I haven’t been doing a whole lot “school” with the boys, but they’ve been doing their schoolwork on their own.  Maybe I don’t “feel” much like a homeschooler right now because I’m really not doing much.   But they are both doing really well and are very independent in their learning… which is more like the way things would be in College anyway.  Or at least that’s the way I feel.

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.
