Rules for Homeschooling

Posted on by Jeff Cassman
From a friend:
Your homeschool day doesn’t have to begin at 8am.
⠀
You can let your kids sleep in and you can drink an extra cup of coffee in the quiet.
⠀
You can do morning time in the afternoon.
⠀
You can do your read alouds in bed at night.
⠀
You can homeschool in the evenings, on the weekends, or during baby’s naptime.

⠀

Along these lines, I’ve created a series of worksheets in Google Sheets with the goal of developing a logical approach to analyzing potential locations for raising a family.  I’ve provided the template and offer many questions I feel are relevant, and you can edit/add to these with the data points you think are relevant.

For example, I believe if you evaluate living in a rural ‘red’ county in a ‘red’ state, you will find that these locations are much more conducive to family life than living in an urban ‘blue’ county in a ‘blue’ state.

You might see the risk as such that just living in rural America is not safe enough…so I’ve made it easy to evaluate others countries as well.

For example, I believe you will find that living in a poor Catholic country with a weak central government … Read the rest

The Fourth of July – Are We Free?

I’m a veteran, but armchair Patriots tell me I’m anti-American, or hate my country, for criticizing the regime, or for telling people there is no divine law obliging them to vote for the Republican nominee for President.
This is statism folks, not patriotism. If you don’t see the difference, you’re probably in the former camp and should read this article before you do anything else today.
