Connect Your Family With Games
Many families now have more T.V. sets than people. Add to that the array of smart phones, computers and electronic game devices owned by most families and you get a recipe for family disconnection. One of the best advantages of homeschooling is family time together, but if we squander too much of that time in our separate electronic worlds, we lose a precious treasure forever.

Introducing Pi
pi is an important number in mathematics. It is also a difficult concept for students when it is first introduced. pi = 3.14… approximately, but that is not quite right. pi = 3.14159… approximately, but that is not quite right either. pi = 22/7 but that is an approximation too. pi has been computed out to millions of digits, but the result is still an approximation.

I have often asked parents this question, “Do you have anything to lose by trying it? If you were to try short lessons and find they did not work for you, couldn’t you just go back to long lessons?” I cannot even count the number of parents who tried this and now rave about short lessons.

Reflections on School and Prison
My wife doesn’t allow a television in our home, so when I’m traveling alone, as I often must, temptation sometimes overwhelms me and I find myself indiscriminately channel-surfing for hours, searching for what — I don’t know, perhaps a football game even in March or April, May, June, July, August. It was on such a fruitless mission in April that I paused on the A&E; channel long enough to hear that a documentary about cults was in the offing.
The Nuts and Bolts of Homeschooling
Today’s homeschooling is far more about “home” than “school.” Few Americans today have the close-knit family life that so many Americans once had—before compulsory education pulled the children from their parents’ responsibility, beginning in 1852 in Massachusetts .
What Are Gardner’s Original 7 intelligences? What are 8 and 9?
While a parent’s main focus on this topic might be for the benefit of the children, adults gain life skills from knowledge of the multiple intelligences.
