I’ll just pass over the general disdain for anyone who may choose to homeschool for religious reasons, and the attempt to portray us as nothing but nutcases living in Fairytaleland, but I do have a question.
Is there nothing of value to the individual and to society that is unpaid? Is a woman’s worth based [...]
This started as a response to Julie’s very well-thought out comment in response to her first impressions of the Family Manifesto I mentioned in my last post, but they are interesting issues.

But the summer of 1994 was the first time I remember feeling a strong sense of pride at my national heritage and the [...]
What advice do you give to those who are considering homeschooling? Dr. Melissa Clouthier ponders:
And, I’ve had two people talk to me out-of-the-blue about home schooling. I’m torn about it. It would free us up to do some more interesting things, but I’m worried about losing my last neuron. Any thoughts?
