Perhaps I am an expert in Homeschooling

When I first started this job as homeschool blogger for families.com, I wrote a post entitled, Disclaimer, I am hardly an expert in education. Meanwhile, in the light of all of the questions I find myself answering of late, I am realizing that I just might be an expert in homeschooling. Considering the fact that I have researched and studied all things homeschooling for the past four plus years, one could say I have the equivalent of a Bachelors degree in homeschooling (with a minor in education).

When I find that I am inadequate to teach a subject, I have resources in the form of friends, family, … Continue reading →

When people ask what we’ll do for foreign languages–well, I can teach that too–I am tri-lingual. I am well read, well versed in history and science, and I can even teach beginning music theory on several different instruments. (I am not telling you this so you can be wowed by my intelligence. . .just wait!) I’ve also said that you don’t need all that to homeschool because you can surely read anything you’re … Continue reading →
