Great points Especially 10th one. Sitting 6 hours in school and later 8 hours in office appear like similar ordeal.

LOL, Luke. I had forgotten most of algebra, even though I had mastered math through calculus as a youth. My son and I used to work the problems out together on a whiteboard on the floor, using different colors for knowns and unknowns, mildly correcting each other’s logic, and using the eraser frequently. These were good lessons in reasoning cooperatively for both of us.

Unfortunately, number 1 is wrong: Homeschooling is the best time to relearn all the stuff you forgot or missed the first time around!

it is so great to hear that the military is embracing homeschoolers. I guess it would be a bit out of character for them not to want to recruit our kids, when so many of the military families themselves are homeschooling.

Here is a great event in the Phoenix area:

Homeschool 101 Resources: Military Service Academies Conference will advise potential applicants

If your homeschooled student, male or female, has shown interest in entering the military, you will want to be sure to attend this event. All five millitary academies accept homeschoolers, who have been eligible for Tier 1 status…

Comment on Obituary for Shirley Peterson, My Mother by candy4wayphonics

I lost my mother two years ago, so I understand the mixture of pride and grief. Moms cannot be replaced. They’re special! They teach us so much not just with their words, but with their actions. I will be praying for you during this time of grief. May God comfort you as you mourn your mother’s passing and also as you rejoice in your mother’s “homecoming!” Carol Kay

I am also a homeschooler, and I’ve heard wonderful things about the educational experience at Colonial Williamsburg during homeschool week. My family has timeshare units available at Wyndham Kingsgate Resort (www.kingsgateresortwilliamsburg/com/index.htm) for $500 for that week. You may either rent from Saturday 2/27 to 3/6 or from Sunday 2/28 to 3/7/10. If interested, please contact Joe Weidler ASAP at 215-256-9658 and leave a message. Thank you! Koleen Weidler
