John Borst, editor of Tomorrow’s Trust, a web-based journal of Catholic education, answers with a resounding yes.
This is in response to an article by Liz McCloskey, a doctoral candidate at the Catholic University of America, who took some time off her doctoral pursuits in order to spend more time with her two boys. Borst seems [...]

An interesting story popped up in my Google alert for homeschool, although it has nothing to do with homeschooling. Still, it is an interesting look at the difficulties experienced by some immigrant communities and raises a lot of questions for me regarding the whole assimilation process, how immigrant families are instructed in American values and [...]
