New experiences, people, thoughts, and ideas can move your life to a different Read more

Please Be Upstanding For Mr. Carl ChewTuesday April 22nd 2008, 4:14 pm Filed under: Education, NCLB
Have I hidden my intensely negative feelings toward, about, and for the No Child Left Behind Act? I have not. I loathe the NCLB and what it has done to our already shaky education system. As far as I can tell, the only people on board with the NCLB are politicians. Students, parents, and teachers and administrators all despise it. That’s, Read more

“Q:A” After taking a diagnostic exam, what would be some good ways to go through it? Also, is it worth taking the same exam again?
Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
jmugele: One of the most useful learning experiences for me was taking a diagnostic test, marking the questions I was uncertain of (in case I guessed correctly), and then looking up the correct answers.

Homeschooling Tax Credit??? Nothanks!
Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
Rational Jenn explains:
Once the Feds get involved, there will necessarily be more reporting requirements, at the very least to our states, so that our ducks will be lined up just so and we can keep more of our money. Once the Feds get involved at any level, in any aspect of homeschooling, defining eligibility and limits and constraints and what happens to those who don’t follow the rules, we will lose something that we may Read more
