HSLDA Senior Counsel and Director of State and International Relations Chris Klicka spoke at my nephew's High School graduation at the Home Educators Association of Virginia http://heav.org/ convention last month.
That man is absolutely incredible. Here he goes up to the podium in a wheelchair (he has MS), pulls himself to his feet and stands there for 45 minutes encouraging us. It was an extremely humbling experience.
How right you are.
My wife and I intersperse our English with some Spanish once in a while (she was raised as a missionary kid in South and Central America), and I grew up a WASP kid in Los Angeles. Our 3 year-old has picked up several phrases in Spanish, and can answer a few questions in Spanish as well. Since we are using a classical approach to homeschooling he will be learning Greek and Latin in a few years. We will be too.
Chris Klicka is an absolutely amazing man! He puts his full faith in God. My daily pet peeves seem pretty small when I look at what he does just to get his day started.
Don't know if you are still looking, but our family is excited about Hawaii Virtual School this year. They do everything for you, so it would be pretty good for a first timer, I think. You basically only have to watch your kids and make sure they are working. They are open to anyone (HI or not). http://hawaiivirtualschool.com/
Thanks for the info !!!! I'll check it out.
