Juggling boosts schools' results

Wichita Eagle | 10/17/2004 | Juggling boosts schools' results After reading this article about the testing of students, and grading of schools, and comparing of years, and the use of loopholes for which schools "passed", I commented to my husband that the current school funding/testing situation really supports my desire to homeschool. He said that he has no qualms about the educational reasons to homeschool. Yippee! Now I only need to address other areas, which will probably be primarily "socialization" and our family finances.

WalkWith Unschooling -- a site where they believe in unschooling the "academic" stuff, but not completely changing your whole life. It will be interesting reading the distinctions and opinions that I will get on their email list.
