“Why Homeschool?”
What are some of the reasons that are propelling more and more families into this adventure? Being reminded of why we do what we do will help us when the going gets a little tough or we become discouraged.
Advice for Homeschooling Dads
As a homeschooling father, I feel a passion to help other homeschool dads to become more involved in their children’s education and to be more supportive of their wives’ efforts. This presentation gives some suggestions that I have for homeschooling fathers along with advice for how to accomplish these goals.
Dangers Facing Our Society: Why It Is Important for Godly Parents to Consider Homeschooling
One reason why many choose to homeschool is that today, our society in general, and especially those who wish to be followers of Christ, face various dangers in the spiritual realm resulting from prevailing attitudes and philosophies in our culture that have had a definite effect on our public schools and may affect the thinking of our children. This lecture looks at a few of them.
Homeschooling Methods
This is a presentation that I would give each year at our annual “New Homeschoolers” seminar with the St. Louis Homeschooling Activities, Resources, and Encouragement (SHARE) support group in St. Louis, MO. There is really no "right way" or "wrong way" to homeschool. Every family is different, and the beauty of homeschooling is that each family can choose the method and curriculum that best suits its needs. If you are considering homeschooling or just getting started, here is some information about homeschooling methods that you might find useful.
Homeschooling: Is It Worth It?
A look at the benefits of homeschooling that is designed to encourage us to keep on keeping on.
How Should We Then Teach
This is not a discussion of methods or curricula. Taking the thought from Francis Schaeffer’s famous book, we shall look at the importance of approaching all subjects, and education in general, from a Judaeo-Christian or Biblical worldview.
The Adventure of Homeschooling
We recognize that God has given parents, not the government, not public schools, not even the church, the responsibility of raising children. Homeschooling is where parents take primary responsibility for the education of their children. Raising children and educating them at home can be viewed as a chore or as an adventure. This presentation looks at some of the goals parents pursue in the adventure of homeschooling in addition to learning how to read, write, and cipher.
What Kind of Literature Shall We Choose?
As a professional reviewer of youth literature, I have read all kinds of books intended for young people. Do we want our children reading that which is exciting but worldly? That which is “godly” but insipid? Or are there other choices? What the world considers great is not necessarily what God considers good. I shall discuss several issues related to this choice.
