Linda Larson Hello from the United States. I am originally from Stratford Upon Avon in England, now married to a US citizen and homeschooling my twin 14 year old daughters in the US. I just wanted to say how great I think your website is and how pleased I am to think that such a resource is available in the UK. While my husband and I lived in the UK we found that very few people seemed to know about homeschooling and many thought it was illegal! I would like to commend you for this site, all of us need encouragement in our homeschooling endeavors and sites like yours make all the difference. I am fortunate here in the US that so many resources are available to me and I am glad that you offer many of them in your store. May God bless your ministry and may I take this opportunity to wish you a blessed Christmas and a peaceful and wonderful New Year. Sincerely Linda Larson - Fri Dec 23 2005 As someone who has been both home-schooled and public-schooled I agree whole-heartedly with what you say. Especially about the increasing immorality of our countries schools. Now in a public University, the blame Bush game has started, and no one takes responsibility anymore. There is always someone to blame, it is never "my fault." People need to realize that God is he ultimat judge and that just because we are not punished on this earth for our actions does not imply that God will condone our actions. -- John Magnotti
WE ENJOYED THIS SITE ENORMOUSLY Thank you I have found this site most useful. very inspiring. thanks - Thu Aug 14 2003 This was a wonderful page. I have it bookmarked to use in the future when I have my daycare. Thanks for the wonderful poems! - Tue Nov 11 2003 Believe it or not there are some very good christian schools still out there, where children are taught the difference between right and wrong and about christianity. My son attends a particularly good school where church attendance is hugely encouraged and the school achieves good standard together with excellent exam results. While this may be few and far between and home education may suit some, I do not feel you can make a blanket statement that 'it is better for children to be taught in the home'. For example take a 'christian' single mum, who has never allowed any one to influence her son (not even the father - this being the cause of the break-up). This mother still wanting total control - still sleeps with her son who is 11 years old, now wants to remove him from school to home educate. This mother has never before shown an interest with his education as this develops intelligence and therefore reduces control she has. The son is not below average intellegence for his age but still struggles to write, and often fails to complete homework as mother does not encourage. I feel these web sites are fine for most parents who normally do this sort of thing for the right reasons, however they should warn about the level of commitment and motivation required and what are genuine reasons, otherwise they give quite a dangerous impression to some parents who do require outside influences as their basic parental skills in themselves are lacking. I do believe there is a social element to going to school (I know most home educators disagree) I feel in the example above the mother wants to further isolate the child to maintain control and that she probably does have some mental illness, but what is there to stop her doing this? - Sun Feb 27 2005 CommentsIt is the school holidays and I have been showing my grandchildren

Thank you for this very helpful pag! In the future, I would like to see some quotations from Dr. Michael Farris, esq., since he is a major homeschooling advocate and active in American government. Thank you for listening - Mon Nov 28 2005 Jules Just wanted to say how great the site is, very informative and makes for interesting reading. I home educate my four children (aged 10, 8, 4, and 6 months) and live in Devon, England. We have been home educating for nearly 3 years. So keep up the good work! God Bless. Jules - Sat Jan 14 2006 I loved this page it was wonderful to see so many songs I'm a school teacher just begining so thank you
Sheri Harris - if you are worried about social interaction there are homeschool groups where you can hang out with other parents and the kids with other kids. These parents and kids often have the same opinions and thoughts that you do. - Tue Apr 18 2006 Last Updated - Roland Munyard
