Piano Is Easy
Walden Pond Press -- keeping this for future reference. It has lots of suggestions for teaching children to play the piano, starting with number stickers on they keys. I remember my mom teaching me with letters taped to the keys and letters written under the notes on the sheet music.

Hoagies' Gifted Education Page
Hoagies' Gifted Education Page -- I'm been surfing since I'm home with a (napping) sick baby. First to the Mensa pages, and now here. I think this stuff will come in handy in the future. There are pages about/for young children, too. DS1 is very smart, that is easy to tell, already. Many people who work with young children (day care workers, babysitters, etc.) tell us how smart he is. I try not to act proud, because it is nothing that I have done (except give him some good genes), and actually nothing that he has done either. Usually I reply very matter of factly, "Yes, we know."

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.
Golden Rule
The golden rule also applies to how we treat our kids. -- from a Christian Unschooling mailing list.
