The "S" Word
Cafi Cohen
The freedom of homeschooling gives children a chance to spend the time and energy necessary to develop and maintain good friendships. Cafi Cohen shares how homeschoolers develop friendships in much the way adults do--via shared interests. Even though they are available in one form or another, those pivotal social experiences (proms and graduations) plus daily age-peer contacts are not needed to produce a socially-competent individual. Real world socialization experiences (regardless of the size of that world) far better prepare kids for the challenges they will face.
The 4 Advantages of Homeschooling
The advantages of choosing home education fall into four broad categories: the advantage of religious/philosophical convictions, the advantage of socialization, the advantage of academics, and the advantage of family time. This article explores this concepts in depth and gives a good overview of why the decision to homeschool is the right one for many families.
Ecce Home Press
Ecce Homo Press is a Catholic homeschooing family owned and operated business and apostolate. Offers the Glory of America series, Little Flowers and Blue Knights materials, and more.
Big Brother Inspired Teacher Training
Linda Dobson
People who remember the age-segregated classrooms of their own schooling wonder how in the world you can possibly teach children of different ages (or grades) at the same time. Maybe they tell you all children in this situation are getting short-changed in the process. You, however, see that homeschooling grows ever easier with subsequent children because little ones seem to pick up knowledge by osmosis when older siblings are learning in their vicinity. You perceive that the family environment supports social and emotional development easily and naturally as younger children take clues about growing up from older siblings. You know interaction between children of mixed ages mirrors the real world, and children grow more inclined to accept and help each other.
