Read the book. Summarize each chapter in your own words before you go on and read the next chapter.
The indoctrination centers have convinced us that we need professionals to interpret the author’s words.
I sent you a FReepmail. My computer’s acting funny, or I’d look up more info for you.
Thanks.
Prov 25:11-12
A word aptly spoken
is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold
is a wise man’s rebuke to a listening ear.
Looks great. Curriculum is targeted for 16 yrs and older, it appears, but they provide exceptions with instructor permission.
Worldview books I recommend for everyone - David Noebbel’s “Understanding the Times” and “Thinking Like a Christian”. You’ll see the world differently, and be more discerning about the messages you see around you.
He teaches them at different levels. I think the Logic and Rhetoric class was for 12-14 and the Economics class for 15-16.
You are more like us than I thought. We have seven. Our youngest is 7. Oldest is 31. All of them would rather be home with us than any place else on earth. God gave us great kids, too. I don’t mind sying so myself. Two are married and we have five grandchildren thus far. I think like yours, they are lovers of books and were reading very young. God is GOOD!
Our oldest will turn 18 in March, and the 9th is due in early June. No grandchildren yet, although, as I was saying on another thread, people will probably think the new brother is Anoreth’s son instead of mine, because of my gray hair! Except for the two youngest (5 and 3), they all read “Human Events,” “America’s First Freedom,” and three different car magazines. We have several reptiles and a few space aliens (or so I’m told). What could be more fun than this?
WONDERFUL! Ninth on the way. Congratulations. Our eldest son married a gal from a family of 8 children.
Some reading this wonder what all this has to do with this thread. I say EVERYTHING, because your family and ours are examples of ANTI-indoctrination, and ANTI-political correctness.
We have two grandchildren older than our youngest daughter, and let me tell you that that can be a whole lot of fun in public! We have one granddaughter who is almost a twin of our own 7 year-old, and most people really do NOT believe me when I tell them that one is my daughter and one is my granddaughter, and ask them to guess which is which.
So, you are in for some good fun, too.
Get your kids out of Public school Ping
.
Plese FReepmail me if you would like to be added or removed from this low volume CONSERVATIE Digg ping list!
Exactly! We don't have to "deprogram," because the children were never programmed ... and believe me, I tried! Children who breed reptiles and talk to space aliens in Greek were not what I planned on ;-).
I know several families with grandchildren older than their own children. Maybe we will - I'm only 42!

No thanks to me, I thank Thomas Sowell every time I read a new column of his. :)
Thanks for the link, jan. :)
I don't doubt that Dr. Sowell included the same information in a book and probably in several of his books. I have been reading his articles since and including college. The book to which you refer would have been just after my university studies. I'll have to look it up. BTW, according to Obama in his press conference yesterday, he thought the controversy over FDR's handling of the economy during the depression, has been resolved, and in favor of the actions FDR's administration took. Don't Liberals always think all controversies have been resolved in favor of their opinion?
He just released a book, "Applied Economics," and made the talk show circuit promoting it, which I have just begun to read. However it is a follow up to his book, "Basic Economics."
Such a wonderful and endearing testament, Alia!! And you well prepared them to interject and defend their beliefs in a univerity setting. Did they?
That’s when you buy a sailboat and take the kids on a port-to-port voyage that just happens to last their entire pre-secondary education. Nice if you have the means.
True. But, it might take a civil war to do it.
might be worth it
“I think the left has that covered. They call in social services and claim abuse. Or they pass rules and regulations to hinder home schooling.”
True, those would be the weapons they would use. However, the hippies like to home school, too, and the home schooling environment just keeps getting more and more favorable. At least in the U.S.
