		<description><![CDATA[USUALLY AFTER A FAMILY HAS DECIDED TO HOMESCHOOL, the first question that comes up is, “What curriculum should we use?”  As I have said elsewhere, we did not invest in any formal curriculum until our two boys were 10 and 8 years old. In the early years of homeschooling, reading was practically the primary learning [...]]]></description>

IT NEVER FAILS TO BOTHER ME when I come across someone who dismisses the deep and endless world of literature with a callous “oh, I just don’t read.” Why not? Reading and learning are inextricably intertwined. How can one [...]]]></description>

Well, we did have a whiteboard, but that was as far as we went. I don’t want to knock the idea of a classroom-in-the-home because I have since heard that [...]]]></description>
