Q & A with Home School Mom: Darcel
Darcel is the awesome mom behind The Mahogany Way. It was through her site that I was able to get my first look at unschooling. Her candid photos and voice showed a side of unschooling that was much different than what I gathered from parents who didn't take this approach.
Q & A with Home School Mom: Pat
Pat has been my friend for nearly a year now. I am so grateful to have her in my life because she often speaks words of wisdom into my life. I am so excited that she is graciously sharing some encouraging words with you all.
Home School Reflections: Teaching My Weakest Subject- History
I am not a history teacher. History was one of the subjects that I often struggled with because it didn't grasp my attention. This is also true for government. Textbooks filled with words often lost me unless there was a story between the pages that caught my eye. So you can imagine that this truth has made an impact on our homeschool.
Q & A with Home School Mom: Belinda
Our decision point was very unlike many Christian homeschoolers, who feel a ‘calling’ to minister to their families in this way. Instead, we were corporate yuppies growing increasingly frustrated with the evasive American dream.
Q & A with Home School Mom: Shnia
Shnia, pronounced like Shania Twain, runs the Facebook Page, Mom of Fantastic 4, which is where I found her. She is a wife and mother of four children. She previously taught preschool, but left that field to begin teaching her daughter at home. This school year, she's homeschooling three of her four! Aside from taking care of her home, she is a youth pastor. Shnia also knows how to have fun. She enjoys singing, meals at TGI Fridays, and watching mob movies!
Homeschooling in Tennessee
Before moving to Tennessee I had not ever been concerned about whether I was home schooling the legally or not since our former state did not require anything from parents who chose to teach their children at home. Can I be honest? When we moved to Tennessee I became very anxious about home schooling. It wasn’t the teaching part or making sure that we were on track academically. It all stemmed from my fear of not following the law of Tennessee and when I read the posts by moms in Facebook groups and forums they only inflamed my anxieties.
