Homeschool Toolbar
When I first heard about homeschooling, I thought it was something weird. I had no children then and a young lady from the church I was in said something about teaching her children at home. At the time, I remember thinking it was just one of Jan’s off the wall ideas. Then, after meeting more folks who were doing it, I figured that maybe there was something viable about it after all. Who would have thought just a few years down the road that I would be a homeschooling mom myself. Having seen one daughter graduate as a homeschooler, we are now on our second leg of the journey. (Our girls are twelve and a half years apart.)
Not only do I think it’s a viable alternative to traditional schooling, I firmly believe that it’s a huge success when it comes to education. It’s a force to be contended with here in the U.S. Just watch what happens when the big giant government comes out with threats against the little David homeschooling community. Little David comes forth with its sling shot and aims right at the head of Goliath. And more often than not, Mr. Goliath listens. That’s primarily because there are so many in David’s army. I’m praying that the Lord will continue in His mercies towards the homeschooling community. After all, it’s a tough call and hard work, but we are doing what we feel is a call from our God as parents to our children. And please, Mr. Goliath, be kind to us as we mean you no ill at all.
Now this little force of David’s army has gone so far as to have its own toolbar! Now I think that’s really something. I would suggest checking it out–it’s all self-explanatory. So any of you moms who don’t know about it, hop on over and see what you think.
