Some Benefits of Homeschooling

I am still to have written a post on some benefits of homeschooling. Here is a top ten list by no means exhaustive:

1. You get to set your own schedule and pace.

2. You get to do school while having a snack, or in your pajamas.

3. You get to do impromptu projects.

4. You get to go places anytime of the day, which also translates to more field trips and discovery time whether through visits to the museums, library, bookstores or wherever.

5. You do not always have to take tests.


 6. You get more time to explore your interests (no time to be spent on homework if you are diligent), or dive into a topic in more depth.

7. You learn to be diligent.

8. You learn to be independent.

9. You get to spend the necessary time learning christian character traits and values.

10. You get things explained over and over and in different ways until you get it: the blessing of one on one education.

I also like the fact you can plan around traffic times to go places!

Great list! My favorite part of homeschooling is being able to travel in the off seasons! The costs are lower and the places are less crowded.

Writing & Rhetoric - A Writing Curriculum Review and a Giveaway

Curriculum choosing and buying can be a very daunting task. So many subjects to cover, so many curriculum to browse though, and so many companies to consider. Today I would like to share with you a product and a company that I have come to hold in high regards. When it comes to teaching writing to the boys I was not sure which way to go, as I would not exactly consider myself a great writer. Then came along Writing and Rhetoric from Classical Academic Press. I heard about it when the second book in a series of twelve just released, and I was immediately intrigued. You see I homeschool classically, and writing is an integral part of it. Classical Academic Press puts out products geared towards classical homeschooling, so there you had  the first common ground. I was searching for something that would teach them what writing was, and guide them through the process incrementally, without bombarding them with pages and pages of writing right from the start. I found what...
