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.

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.

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...
