			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">When choosing a home schooling curriculum you can be met with so many options that it can leave you feeling seriously confused. There are many different home schooling programs that all promise you and your child the best home schooling curriculum available.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Which home schooling curriculum is right for you and your family? Is one home schooling curriculum the right one for all your children? Or does each child need a different approach from their home schooling education?</p>
<p><span id="more-74"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It’s been my experience that before you go “shopping” for your home schooling curriculum online you need to sit down, find a quite time and consider both your needs and the needs of your child. This is a very important consideration when choosing your best home schooling resource. Your needs are as important as you child’s needs. You’ll be the one teaching the home schooling curriculum. You have to feel comfortable with your choice. Don’t make the mistake of choosing a home schooling online curriculum that appears ideal for your child, if you cannot cope with the time and personal resources needed to achieve the ideal. You and your child will suffer in the long run.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Rather choose a home schooling program that you feel comfortable with and can manage. Once you get into the routine of home schooling, you’ll soon find your feet. Your confidence in your ability to teach will grow. I always say, “Who better to teach your children than their own Mother?” It won’t be long before you’re able to prove to yourself, that you are the best home school teacher for your child.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When it comes time to choose your homeschool curriculum online, I’ve found the following questions to be helpful, in making that final purchasing decision:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* What is the end goal for my child?<br />
* Do I want to concentrate on an academic home schooling curriculum, a creative home schooling curriculum or a combination of the two?<br />
* What is my belief system<br />
* What are my Religious beliefs, if any?<br />
* Do I want to teach my children my belief system as part of their home schooling program?<br />
* Do a want a home schooling curriculum that demands a strict schedule or a more flexible schedule?<br />
* What is my budget? Remember you’ll not only be buying the home schooling program. You’ll be buying everything from crayons to science experiment kits!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Once you’ve answered these questions you’ll find you have a better understanding of which home schooling curriculum would best suit both you and your children. Now you can shop for your home schooling online curriculum with a positive attitude knowing which home schooling program would be best for your family.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Always bear in mind that every Homeschool family is different. Your neighbour’s choice of home schooling curriculum may work brilliantly for her, but not suit you at all. There is a home schooling program out there to suit everyone, it’s just a matter of knowing what you want from you home schooling curriculum.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;ve been Homeschooling for nearly 2 years now. To learn more about finding the right Home Schooling Curriculum visit my site at Our Homeschool Journey for more information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Parents will opt for home schooling for several reasons from a wish to instil particular values to the desire to remove a student from an unsafe public school setting to the aspiration to offer a better quality education. But the most general, basic reason for many is the well established belief that home schooling is ultimately healthier for their child.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8216;Better&#8217; can imply an assortment of things, but it includes as many deficiencies as it does positives. The omission of bullying or peer pressure are two major features of public school that many home schooling parents aim to remove from their child&#8217;s life. But the positive side is as equally important. It has been well studied that an improved education can be achieved by home schooling over public or even the modern private schools.</p>
<p><span id="more-71"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And the research undertaken largely agrees: home schooling is superior for education in the vast majority of cases.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are numerous individual achievement stories. Winning student of the 1997 National Spelling Bee contest was home schooled. Four sisters went on to achieve Master&#8217;s degrees from an Ivy League university after being home schooled.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But cases like this might be dismissed, declaring that these students, and their parents, were unusual. Also the numbers indicate that the typical home schooled pupil is within the 60-70th percentile by 12 years of age. From this, on average, they are a grade in front of their public school peers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The figures for the elder children are often even more notable. After the average home schooled pupil reaches the equivalent to 8th grade, he or she will likely be four grades ahead of their peers. That&#8217;s to a great extent due to the poor results of some public schools as it is great results of home schooling. The figures are based upon research not purely by home school supporters, buy also by the U.S. Department of Education itself.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although, as most home schooling tutors are aware, nothing good will come easy. Parents can feel the effects of burnout, especially when first beginning with the home schooling. As with any new assignment, it will need time to gain the knowledge require to instruct a child everything needed to develop suitably.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In accordance with a well established home school philosophy children are natural sponges for soaking up knowledge. But many home schooling tutors will feel the need to study the curriculum options, guide children, define goals, and several other duties.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But are the results from home schooling worth the effort? If the desired outcome is a keen minded, well-adjusted student ready to begin life&#8217;s challenges, for many parents that will be a simple question to respond to.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Home schooling has been around for quite some time now. The debate about it&#8217;s overall effectiveness has been going on for just as long. Recently however, home schooling has been gaining more and more advocates in support of it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For the longest time, home schooling has been viewed with a somewhat contemptuous attitude by many. They&#8217;re under the misguided notion that home schooling is for weirdoes and social misfits.</p>
<p><span id="more-65"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">People these days are much more open minded about the idea of home schooling. Lots more parents are choosing to put their kids in some kind of home schooling program.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So what are the possible reasons for parents to home school their kids? What are the advantages and disadvantages of home schooling? Is it right for your child and what must be taken into consideration when choosing to home school your child?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Home schooling has traditionally been for those children who suffer from some kind of condition or whose current circumstances don&#8217;t allow them to attend regular school. However, more and more parents are choosing to home school their children because they believe it to be a more beneficial alternative to traditional schools.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are a lot of advantages to be taken from home schooling.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Home schooling allows a child be taught in a more individualized way. The child will not have to compete with several other students for the time and attention of the teacher. Their parent is their teacher and the one-on-one teaching that the child receives will increase the quality of learning.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The nature of home schooling allows for an incredible amount of flexibility and freedom in regards to learning. The lessons and curriculum to be undertaken can be custom made to suit the particular educational needs of the child.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The child can also learn at their own pace, seeing as there&#8217;s no set schedule that must be followed. A child can take as much time as they need to learn something without being pressured, or they can go as quickly as they can, learning things that would normally take a much longer time to cover in a classroom.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In many cases home schooling will enforce an inherent love of learning and will strengthen the child abilities to learn on their own. These skill will become a valuable asset throughout their lives.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many parents home school their kids in order to instill moral values that can&#8217;t be sufficiently achieved in traditional schools. This is especially true if they feel that the child is easily influenced and the schools in the area are a particularly bad influence.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Home schooling helps to cultivate family ties. The time that the family spend together teaching and learning helps to strengthen family bonds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thanks to more advanced technology and in particular the internet, home schooling has become even more effective. The internet is a vast source of knowledge and you can find a plethora of home schooling resources like sample curriculums, lesson plans, and all sorts of guides.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The greatest criticism aimed at home schooling is that it might hamper the child&#8217;s social growth. Home schooled kids tend to be more isolated and many feel that this is harmful.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This isn&#8217;t necessarily the case though, as studies have shown that many home schooled adults have excellent social skills and are living happy, meaningful lives.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These studies also show that home schooled individuals tend to do better academically than traditionally schooled individuals.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite the seemingly many benefits of home schooling, it isn&#8217;t for everyone. Parents should take in mind several considerations before taking the plunge.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Home schooling takes a tremendous amount of time and effort on the part of the parents.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Teaching will take up most of the teaching parent&#8217;s day, so this means that the they will most likely not have the time to work. The family must be able to cope with this situation. This is especially difficult for single parents.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Also, the parent must be sure that they will be able teach their child properly and handle all the possible problems and responsibilities that come with the home schooling their child.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Home schooling, when done right can have very positive results. However, getting it wrong can result in absolute disaster. Ultimately, it&#8217;s up to the parents to assess their child and decide if home schooling is the right choice for them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Home Schooling. Let&#8217;s start off by saying that home schooling is not just for the rich and powerful. Anyone can be home schooled. How do we know that? Because today in the United States there are over 1.2 million students being home schooled. It is doubtful that all of them are very rich.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Yes, home schooling does cost money but a child can be home schooled for as little as $1000 a year. Unless a family is truly poor this is not a large sum considering that comes out to about $3 a day. We spend more than that on our lunches at work.</p>
<p><span id="more-62"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So what about home schooling as far as it&#8217;s benefits? Is it worth it? Do kids learn better? Are they smarter when they finish? Is there anything about home schooling that is bad?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Statistics show that students who are home schooled have better grades and actually learn more than students who go to public or private schools. Of course many people argue these statistics saying they are skewed and inaccurate and some say they are outright lies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Why the battle?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Because the one truth that can&#8217;t be argued is that home schooling is eating into public and private schools’ pocket books. The growth rate for home schooling has been rising about 15 to 25% per year of late. This is about 20% of the students outside the government school system when you look at the raw numbers mentioned above. Another 250,000 children are expected to enter home schooling in the coming year.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The number of home schooling students do present a threat to government schooling, as they are finding that you don&#8217;t have to hire super qualified teachers to get a good education for your child. And the truth is, an average family only spends about 10% of the per pupil cost that public schools spend on each child, which refutes the theory that you need to spend a lot of money to educate a child.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This does pose a significant economic threat to public schools since their school budgets depend on attendance. It is estimated that over $7 billion has been lost to public schools because of the number of children who are being home schooled.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Home schooling families are also a very powerful force in government. When a bill was introduced that all home school instructors be certified the home school community made such a loud noise that the bill was defeated by a vote of 424-1 when it came up in the house.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In an attempt to battle back, defenders of the public school system are fighting with every legal resource at their disposal. One of their tactics is the undermining and co-opting of the home schooling movement by establishing government home schooling programs which try to lure families by offering them free resources. Yes, the battle goes on and it won&#8217;t be ending any time soon.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the next article we&#8217;ll go over exactly how home schooling works and how students earn their diplomas.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Why bother home-schooling?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Why bother? Well, if you are thinking it is a bother, you might re-think your decision right there. To educate your child at home is not a bother, but a wonderful, richly rewarding experience that benefits you and your child. So, take the &#8220;bother&#8221; word from your vocabulary if you really would like that opportunity. Yes, this is your opportunity and your child&#8217;s opportunity.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are a stay-at-home mom or dad, then you have the opportunity to have wonderful learning experiences by home-schooling your child. In most states, home-schooling is legal, a legal option. There are some guidelines and rules and regulations that you need to follow, but after that everything rocks! (In some states, there are a certain amount of days that you have to notify the Board of Education that you intend to home-school your child).</p>
<p><span id="more-59"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You cannot simply keep your child from school and decide to home school. You must, almost always notify the School Board or the Board of Education. You can find out the rules and regulations through your government officials or through some wonderful home-schooling magazines and literature. Once you find out the rules and regulations, you are set to go.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Are there benefits to home-schooling?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Time, Balance, Growth &amp; Togetherness</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When home-schooling is done in the proper way, your child will have a fully-balanced education and will become a well-rounded good student. The rewards are unmeasurable. First, one of the benefits is that you both spend more time together and give each other more attention. The average student sees their parent for probably a few minutes a day during the week, or at most an hour or two. However, the average home-schooling parent or guardian sees their child on a regular basis for a few hours a day (when that parent or guardian is teaching). You will learn together! Now that&#8217;s one of the biggest and best benefits of home-schooling. The teacher and the student learn from each other. You grow together. And you can look back on this experience in years to come and both of you will be happy about your choices and decisions. Children get to spend more time with their siblings, and the younger ones will learn while the older ones are learning also.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You will have more time for each other. You can make practically any life-lesson an education lesson. Going to the supermarket or going to a department store is a lesson in buying, purchasing, finances and product comparison. Going to a fast food place is a lesson in food, health, and in purchasing and even a lesson in customer service. The fast food process shows the children very valuable marketing lessons. So things in every day life add to your home schooling experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Good Education</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another benefit is a great education. You see first hand what your child is learning without the need for PTA meetings and without the need for a strangers&#8217; report on your child&#8217;s progress. You choose your child&#8217;s education. If you want to teach your child spiritual lessons, you can do that. You can teach religion as history and history as religious lessons. (Look at all the Christians in history and look at the impact they made in our land). You can teach fun science lessons and math lessons. A trip to the bank and to the ATM will be a great business math lesson.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can even take a trip to the Treasury Building and other related places. Your child will benefit first hand so much more in seeing and doing rather than relying on mostly book-based education. (Yes, you need books and you use books, but you do not depend on them solely as your only education tool). Socialization happens just as easily with home-schooled children as it does for children who attend school in school buildings. Many times when we do television shows, we invite the home-school children, parents and guardians to come into our studio, take a tour and be on the show. So, your options are wide open and your world is your education. Another benefit is a focused education. You are the teacher; you are in charge. That gives you lots of options and lots of opportunities.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What are the problems related to home-schooling?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are few problems to home-schooling, and these are some:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Your child might miss the classmates if your child started out with regular education and now switched to home-schooling.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How do you solve those problems?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The way to overcome this is to have your child interact as much as possible with the children from the other schools. Invite the children (with parents&#8217; permission) to come on some day trips with you . Or invite them over after school. Have your child enroll in a hobby that he or she likes . (Children take up piano or bowling, or art , and in these hobbies the children make new friends and have interaction with children their own age). Use your own imagination and you will find ways to have your child interact with other children and still be home-schooled.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Testing</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Most school districts require specific tests for home-schoolers. But the tests are no harder than those given to regular school children. So, prepare for the tests. They also usually require that a licensed teacher observe or give the tests. This can all be arranged. If you are determined to home-school, there is nothing that should stop you from at least trying this option of education.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Stigma</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Years ago, there used to be a stigma attached to home-schooling. Years ago, most times farmers and poor people and migrant workers home-schooled. Sometimes children and even adults made fun of home-schoolers. But today, that is all changed around remarkably. And this was especially noted when one year, the home-schooled child won the National Spelling Bee on national tv, proving that she was the best speller in the nation. Even after that so many came forward on television stating they had been home-schooled and were now attending college or had graduated from conventional colleges.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What if you change your mind? If you change your mind about home-schooling, you have a right to have your child attend public school. Check with your school district. Most times in most cities, every child is entitled to a free public education, and most likely you live in a city or town like that. So don&#8217;t worry about changing your mind -if you find that home-schooling is impossible for you to do.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Where can I get supplies or books if I educate my child/children at home?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Look online! Do a search for everything related to home-schooling. There are entire companies who focus on nothing but home-school supplies, books and videos. There are plenty of companies out there for you to become educated about home-schooling. You can become an expert in home-schooling if you want to be.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For art lessons, contact the Pearl Paint Store in New York City. They have a mail-order company also and you will find every single item you need for any arts or arts and crafts lessons that you choose to give. For math and business and finances, write to the Treasury Department, the consumer department, you will be amazed at what is available for free. Write away to Pueblo and ask for the government information catalog. This catalog is a hub of wonderful ideas, books, booklets and pamphlets, many that you can use in your school.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Should I home-school my child?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is the hardest question that you ask. The answer is obvious. Only you and your child know if you should home-school your child. Know that this is hard work, mixed with lots of fun and great together times. So you must be ready for hours of hard work if you choose home-schooling. If you are ready for that and if you have the time for that , then you know what to do.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our Experience</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the past I have home-schooled my three children (before they became of school age), and every one of them went into school way ahead of the class. By the time one child was in second grade, that child was tested and found to be able to read college journals. So home-schooling works, even when it is &#8216;unofficial&#8221; home-schooling. The tools that I used were everything that was around. . For example, before my children learned to read, we both would be walking down the street and come to the stoplight. The light was marked with the word, &#8220;STOP&#8221;, and that , to me, was and is a reading lesson. We would read all the words that we passed as we walked down the street. I was doing the home-schooling thing as my child and I walked along the sidewalk. That was &#8220;Reading 101&#8243;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Simple and fun as this was &#8211; this game of reading, this was the game that enabled my children to enter school reading years before their classmates learned to read. So home-schooling, even basic home-schooling works wonders in children&#8217;s lives.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You have probably read about home-schooling and you might have talked to other parents or guardians who have home-schooled their children. But no matter what you have heard, there is more to home-schooling than just reading. When you check with your local school boards you will have the details about government regulations (and there are many) regarding home-schooling. When I first thought about home-schooling, my</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">second child was in the older grades. I thought about it lots because the school was polluted and it had to be shut down temporarily. We went back to conventional schooling after the building was almost re-built. My child and I learned so much from just observing nature and from visiting parks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Your Experience</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Only you know what your own experience will be like. You know yourself and you know your child better than anyone else knows them. So decide according to your needs, wants and lifestyles and your time schedule. Only you know the answer to whether you should home-school or not. Some home-school through a temporary need; perhaps a child has a broken leg and cannot attend the local school. They begin home-schooling and find that both the parent and guardian and the child like the experience, so they apply to home-school on a regular basis and everyone is happy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One thing for sure, do not let anyone make this decision for you, and do not let anyone make you have negative feelings about home-schooling. If this is what you want, this is what you should do. Try it, you&#8217;ll like it. And if you do not like it, or if you feel it is too much of a responsibility, then it is your decision to change your mind. You will never know unless you try. You might want to try it during summer vacation or during the holidays. This offers you the opportunity to educate your child and yet neither of you miss any regular schooling or regular work</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You should try home-schooling if you have the time to do it. And you? So, what are you waiting for? Now is the time to investigate, prepare for and begin to home-school for your child if that is what you both want to do.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here is one website you can begin with &#8211; check this out, many lessons are here , lessons in nature, lessons in history, lessons in art. You name it and it&#8217;s here. Click this website for your very first lesson in home schooling, http://www.nps.gov and here is the Home Education Magazine link. Almost everything you need to know is here: http://www.homeedmag.com</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you have an interest in being on television and showing the benefits of home-schooling, please write and let me know what you feel about the subject of home-schooling and conventional schooling. Write to me at towriteus@yahoo.com</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The author is a creative, individual artists living in the United States of America. I have home-schooled children before they went to conventional school. I find that a mix between home-schooling and conventional schooling is best for all students. Presently I am working on a nationwide creative works project.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A while ago, a portion of one of my newsletters was plagiarized. I consulted my in-house &#8220;lawyer in training&#8221; &#8211; my son Alex. Every time I think of our interaction that day, it really warms my heart. On Sunday, during our &#8220;Love and Respect&#8221; Sunday School class, I think I finally realized why Alex&#8217;s help was so important to me that day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He was protecting me &#8211; which was demonstrating that he loved me. In the book, it talks a lot about cycles, and how love LEADS TO respect, and respect LEADS TO love. So I started thinking about what I did to show my son respect that day. I think that the moment when I asked his opinion of the situation, adult to adult, was the moment that he knew I respected him.We won&#8217;t even think about all the times I completely *fail* at the love and respect cycle, but I did think it was interesting to see on situation in which it worked. I hope it will encourage you.</p>
<p><span id="more-56"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another way to show your son&#8217;s respect is to treat them as adults and let them experience adult consequences. I know our natural inclination as parents is to always protect and always defend. There are times, however, when natural consequences are the best form of education. This is especially true if the consequences are not life altering. Letting them live with minor inconveniences at the department of motor vehicles or with their insurance are great ways of gently ushering them into the adult world.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Home schooling allows parents and family members to deliver content that they consider appropriate and important for their kids. Still, there is the reality that many home school students will enter the workforce and compete against students who attended larger institutions with more resources. How can families who have decided to home school add more breath and depth to courses at minimal cost? Below are five suggestions that can help make your home school courses more substantial and engaging.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1. Organize learning trips. To supplement the study of core subjects, organize exploratory trips to teach your kids real-world skills. For middle and high school students, organize trips to the bank. On these trips, have students open accounts, make basic transitions, and enquire about bank services and fees. Banking trips can work well with other math lessons. For elementary school students, organize trips to different food markets. Consider a chain grocery store, the farmers&#8217; market, a kosher market, and a Chinese Deli. These trips can compliment lessons about budgeting, nutrition, or cultural cuisines. As a long-term goal, students can fundraise for out-of-state trips. These trips can be related to things they are studying (e.g. a fieldtrip to New York after a unit on immigration or a road trip through the state, chartered by your kids, after a course about geography and map reading).</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">2. Enroll in college. Courses at a community college can be an inexpensive way to add to your child&#8217;s learning. Consider enrolling your students in a community college for subjects such as literature or language. High-school-age students would especially benefit from such courses. Attending college courses will add texture to the school day. Additionally, attending these courses will offer accelerated study and it will give students exposure to a college environment. If community college is not an option, check within your network of family and friends for college professors. These professionals may be willing to give a lecture on a specific subject or allow your kids to sit in on a course.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. Use the information superhighway. The Internet offers a host of resources than can make home schooling a breeze. From home school networks to online courses, there are many sites that can make your lessons more interactive and effective. For general home schooling resources, visit The Home School Mom&#8217;s website. For language study, consider purchasing a 1-year online subscription to Rosetta Stone. For beginning and intermediate math study, check out the resources on Math.com. For lesson plans and other teaching resources, check out Laura Candler&#8217;s website. (Search names to find websites).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">4. Explore your community. Keeps abreast of speakers, performances, and exhibits by signing up for newsletters from local colleges, universities, and museums. You can organize a unit of study in preparation for an upcoming exhibit. Conversely, you can use a speaker&#8217;s visit or a performance to add levels of understanding to a unit of study you have already begun. PBS and NPR are two other great places to learn about events in your community.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">5. Purchase plans. There is no need to re-invent the wheel, or lesson plans for that matter, when you can purchase them over the Internet. Websites such as Teachers Pay Teachers and We are Teachers offer a wide variety of lesson plans and curricula for purchase. These plans are especially useful when you are teaching the basics, such as paragraph writing or long division, or when you are teaching commonly read authors, such as Shakespeare or Toni Morrison.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Home schooling allows families a greater level of control over the content and the chronology of study. At the same time, families who choose to home school have the job of preparing students for a larger world context. To add texture and to give more breath and depth to your home school courses, use the suggestions listed above.</p>
