Listen to my interview with Phyllis Schlafly on her Saturday education radio program:
Welcome to Treasured Time for Homeschoolers. This page contains articles, tips, worksheets and resources for parents who are teaching their children at home or who are supplementing their children's traditional education. Many of these articles first appeared on Homeschool Teacher's Lounge, my first web page, on BellaOnline's Homeschooling column or in various print and online publications. Others are unique to this site and all are designed to supplement my book.
My book, featured in the left-hand column, is especially designed for those of us who aren't perfect, and who don't think they have what it takes to homeschool. While I don't advocate ending traditional education, and don't believe every child has to homeschool to have a good life, I do believe that those parents who want to teach their children at home can and should. For myself, if I were starting over, my children would never go to school!
My experience, however, is with all sorts of different ways to school. My children were home preschooled, traditionally preschooled, and traditionally educated in some years. They attended schools part-time every now and then. They unschooled and had structured schooling and eclectic schooling. We've tried it all and found out the method isn't as important as the family. So you'll find my feelings on how to homeschool pretty relaxed and flexible. For me, homeschooling is mostly just about building stronger families and a love of learning.
