Should you hire a high-end homeschool professional

In a tongue-in-cheek article that manages to kick homeschoolers a few times in the process, a Cityfile New York article introduces an entrepreneur supplies high end teachers to affluent homeschool families. The article, Homeschooling: Not Just for Cult Members and Celebs! introduces Melissa Meyer and Teri Flemal who have founded a company called QED (Quality Education by Design).

This homeschooling service is very similar to an Au-pair or nanny service, only these high paid professionals teach children in their … Continue reading →

John Edwards and Victoria Osteen – Tarnished Images?

This week, two high profile people appeared in new articles for not so stellar behavior. Former senator and vice presidential hopeful John Edwards finally admitted to having an extramarital affair.

Elizabeth Edwards Is Stuck No Matter What She Says

I don’t remember home schooling being such a talked about issue in previous elections. I suspect it wasn’t. But maybe I just wasn’t at a point in my life where I cared. But this time around, it seems like everyone has some opinion on home schooling. I realize it’s not at the forefront and frankly, I’d rather it not be. But nonetheless it’s there and candidates are talking about it. Or at least their wives are. The Edwards’ Camp Kind Of Sort Of Homeschooling Recently Elizabeth Edwards sat down to give an interview on the issue. In case you’re wondering … Continue reading →
