Addressing the “I Don’t Know HOW You Do It” Issue
Thursday, August 16th, 2007Stephanie Elms of Life Without School blogged recently about the fact that homeschooling parents are always hearing from other parents that they just don’t know HOW we do it.
She responds by sharing a multitude of reasons why, for her and many other relaxed homeschooling and unschooling parents, it’s really the other way around.

Excellent Blog Post on Right-Brained Learners
Thursday, June 7th, 2007I’m mom to a right-brained (visual spatial) kid. Married to one too. I’m also one!! LOL 
I wonder where Loralei will fall on the spectrum since we’re all right-brained!! Why is this important?? Because traditional schools set these children up to fail… The same can be true of traditional homeschool methods. Anyway, this is an excellent blog post that I thought was worth sharing..

Living Without Formal Curriculum — From “Life Without School”
Friday, May 11th, 2007This is an AMAZING essay! I remember the term “teachable moments” from my college days. We were told to watch out for them. They’re a moment when a child is interested in learning something and actively engaged..
I haven’t heard this term in awhile and love the author’s use of it.
Anyway, here’s the article.

Excellent Article on Approaches to Homeschooling
Monday, April 2nd, 2007Marsha Ransom, author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Homeschooling, has just written a new article that touches on the most popular approaches to homeschooling.
It is an excellent article that I thought was worth sharing. I highly recommend it for those just starting out for for those who have been homeschooling for awhile but feel there might be a better way. I don’t think the title does it justice.
What is eclectic homeschooling? Would it work for you?
