Last year, I was literally finishing up my state paperwork on the way to the department of education to submit my forms. So I called our homeschool by the rather unimaginative name of “Hanley Homeschool.” This year, however, I am preparing my forms a whole week prior to their deadline and so have a whole week to think of a good name for our little academy here. I figure we need a really good one, because if your institution has a great sounding name, it sounds like you know what you are doing, even if you do not. I am setting up a blog poll to put in my side bar and you can vote all week long to tell me which name you think is best. Here are the candidates (if you can think of any others, please leave a comment!):
The John Dewey Center for Child SocializationThe George W. Bush Institute for the Standardization of Intellectual Output
The Horace Mann Academy for the Advancement of Dependence on the State
The Bill Gates Center for the Development of Human Capital
The American Journalism School for the Suppression of Speech
The Sam Harris Center for the Eradication of Religious Faith
Those summarize the general purposes of education, don’t you think?
Principled Discovery is a place to stop and discuss news and information related to faith, family and particularly education. Pour yourself a cup of tea and join the conversation! 
How about “The Solomon Institute for the Filling of a Quiver?”
Hmm…I’m the only wife here, so that might be rather difficult, but thank you for the suggestion!
Somewhere in blog-world a few days ago, I read that their homeschool style was like Abe Lincoln…All ya need is a bible and a library card.
Abe Lincoln academy (or something w/ abe in it) might be kinda cool…
Funny that you should mention Abe. If you follow my link, the last time I wrote about going down to the department of education I was reflecting on a quote from him that is posted at a bus stop.
The Norman Bates Child Depository
The Susan Estrich Center for the Destruction of Male Intellect
The Joseph Stalin Center for Human Discourse
The Joseph McCartney Institute of Liberal Thinking
Sorry, that last should be Joseph McCarthy. Still waking up.
The 1984 Ministry of Education.
The Bill Clinton School of Etiquette and Integrity.
The David Duke and Jesse Jackson School of Racial Harmony
Xavier’s School for Gifted Children
Dave, you think just like my husband. He was really trying to get Michael Moore in somehow, but just couldn’t find anything that worked.
All good suggestions, Dave and anonymous!
