A revolution is happening in American education. As it grows in size, it should frighten teachers everywhere. FRIGHTEN?!? It should OVERJOY teachers everywhere. A true teacher cares about children being educated in a nurturing environment. Home beats schools hands down. A true teacher cares about giving their charges a life-long desire to learn. Far too many distractions and opposing messages in public schools today prevent that. A true teacher doesn't care if the administrations and unions are served, so long as the students are.

And yet another good home school article!
As to the requirement here in Texas, it's just another reason that I'm glad we packed up and moved here.
For what it's worth the Trivium method is looking like the choice for us. For people looking into home schooling I'd highly recommend, "A Well Trained Mind", (Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer). It lays out the Trivium method in a very concise, well thought out format.

Oh goodness .... wouldn't it be a blessing beyond compare if all teachers shared your sentiments.
