Last week on the families.com homeschooling blog, we covered several topics. We talked about schedules, chores, curriculum, standardized tests, and touch subjects. Here is the week in review for Feb 17 – Feb 23.

Valorie Delp gave us a visit and wrote a bit about her curriculum as well as her viewpoint-recommending curriculum to others.
Meanwhile I wrote a three part series on Homeschooling and Competition. Here is part 1 Lack of competition part 2, Healthy vs. unhealthy competition, and part 3, Get in the Game.
Feb 21
I wrote about how blessed I feel to be able to homeschool, in I Can’t Believe I get to Homeschool my Kids!
In addition, I answered a question regarding preparing for standardized tests.
Feb 22
In Too Much Information, I wrote about some of the conversations that come up in homeschooling. On this particular occasion that I wrote about, I really did not want part of the conversation.
On the other hand, maybe too much information is a good thing. In All You need to Teach Your Child about US Geography, I profile a website with at ton of US geographical information.
The word of the day, was Inspiration, (actually it was the word of the week), but it was definitely called for. When raising kids, inspiration is your best ally.
Feb 23
I do not like to Complain about Public Education, but… the latest national exam results made me speak up.
In Separation of God and Homeschool, I discussed where my Christianity and Homeschooling do, or do not converge.
I hope you enjoyed the families.com homeschooling week in review.
