This is my first year homeschooling, and today was a very hard homeschooling day. Most of the afternoon I continued thinking about allowing the kids to go to public school. This article reminded me of a few of the many reasons why I homeschool. Thanks again! Thank you so much for this article.

Judy, I have an old Gatto cassette tape that I've listened to so many times. But it would be great to hear him in person. Tori, it is discouraging, isn't it? Thanks for stopping by. Iva, I'm glad you understand! Michele, I'm so happy for you and your daughter. But not surprised ;) Janet, lol.

My daughter got her acceptance letter, from the college that she really wants to go to, yesterday. She filled out the application and I sent her ACT scores and they accepted her right away. I haven't even sent in the transcript yet! I can't help but feel that your encouragement to just trust in what I had done had something to do with it. Thanks again! Hey Barb,

I love my job and I love my students, but the way 'the powers that be' force the public school agenda is sickening.

Oh, no! We've got a crazy politician for a President. Hmmm... aren't they all? *sigh* What to DO!?

Gatto's talk was so inspiring and truthful and refreshing. It was an honor and a pleasure to hear him speak again. If anyone has a chance to hear him speak - please take advantage of it. The man's grasp of history and his ability to communicate common sense is astounding. Thanks so much for mentioning my post.
