This past week on the families.com homeschooling blog, we talked about finances, responsibilities, and giftedness, truths and misconceptions. Here is the week in review for Feb 10 – Feb 16 2007.

Why homeschool? Especially if you are a single parent, Asks Michelle Thorne. In this blog post, she gives us her reasons. How do you get them to complete their assignments on time, is another question of the day. While this is not a problem unique to homeschoolers, the suggested solutions are definitely handy for homeschoolers. Finally, my word of the day, Sacrifice describes the things a homeschooling parent must give up.

Will staying in school make you a better person, I asked. Actually, I argued against this comment that many homeschoolers hear. In well-Intentioned Friends Will Talk You out of Homeschooling, I attempted to give re-assurance to a mother whose friends disagrees with her homeschooling. My word of the day for this day was mastery. In this post, I described how a child should master information before moving on to the next topic.

I had money on my mind on the 13th. I wrote a series about the costs of homeschooling, whether necessary or elected. Read about them in A Homeschooler and Their Money: Don’t Get Me Started! A Homeschooler and Their Money will Not Be Parted? and A Homeschooler and Their Money will gladly be Parted?

In Purely Homeschooling, we left behind the financial talk of the day before and redefined talked about homeschooling in its purest sense in Purely Homeschooling. Later, in Don’t Believe Everything You Read about Homeschooling, I addressed the problem of the glut of information about homeschooling on the internet. Just because it is information, does not mean it is good.

In Misinformation about Homeschooling: Do not believe the Lies! I discussed the ridiculous things people say about homeschooling. In my next, article Misinformation about Homeschooling: Do not believe the hype! I also cautioned about believing untruths that favor the homeschooler as well. Valorie Delp graced us with an article on Homeschooling her Gifted Son… When the Others Are Not.

Neither Homeschooling nor blogging could be stopped for me even though I was sick on the 16th. My post Homeschooling from my sick bed imitated life on this day. Valorie gave us part 2 of Homeschooling my Gifted Son When Others are Not article, and I wrote about how homeschoolers are responsible to other homeschoolers in The Responsibilities of Homeschoolers.
So that is all the homeschooling blogs for last week. If you want to learn more about homeschooling , or have any questions, we have the answers for you.
