The Magic Is In The Child
THE SECRET OF RAISING SMART KIDS The secret is probably not what you think it is.
http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm? HOMESCHOOLING STATISTICS AND LIFESTYLE “The average homeschool 8th grade student performs four grade levels above the national average (Rudner study). One in four homeschool students (24.5%) are enrolled one or more grades above age level. Students who have been home schooled their entire lives have the highest scholastic achievement. In every subject and at every grade level of the ITBS and TAP batteries, homeschool students scored significantly higher than their counterparts in public and private schools.” Find more education statistics at: http://www.hslda.org/docs/study/rudner1999/Rudner2.asp The Internet is simply filled with wonderful websites by homeschooling parents. Here’s an example: “What do you love most about the homeschooling lifestyle?” ANN VOSKAMP replies in her Holy Experience blog, “Where two or three are gathered, there He is also. What I love most about the homeschooling lifestyle is that we are all together, in all our glorious mess, day in and day out. We are not time-torn or fragmented. We are gathered. There is no dichotomy between God and secular: we are making a one-piece life. We are real, transparent, and growing – sometimes painfully – with each other, season upon season, and God is in the center, bathing us sin-scraped ones with His Grace. That’s rich.” http://holyexperience.blogspot.com/ And find below Dana’s explanation of how she came to homeschool and “why we do it”:
