Writing and reading are still the top learning tools for students, especially writing about something that has been read. But neither activity will be successful if not monitored by conscientious faculty. But who will read the writing? High school teachers manage lots of sections throughout the day, all teeming with students, many…
This young teenager was asked to write a short summary about homeschooling. Hi, my name is Edelia Waldrop and I was asked to write about what it’s like to be homeschooled. Most people probably think homeschoolers don’t work that hard because our parents don’t care. In some cases that may true but that’s not the…

Three cheers for stay-at-home moms who homeschool their own children, but married and single young women who don’t have kids yet have chosen to open their homes to a limited number of pupils.
