In the beginning, I choose to home school my children because I didn't feel my children were learning what they should in public school. I home school now because I see how eager they are to learn when you show them how to learn. Education is the lighting of a fire, not the filling of a bucket.

There are alot of myths about homeschooling. I myself believed most of them to be true too. I think that the socialization issue is one of the biggest myths. A classroom setting is not socializing children. Schools are the only place children are exposed to the same age group. As adults we encounter differant ages/cultures on a daily basis.

I have listed some links that I have found, for new and used books and lots of other great links. I have also added a page for Free Unit Studies. If you have suggestions or comments please e-mail me, I would love to hear from you.
