- Decision Time
by Beverly S. Krueger
It’s decision time for many homeschool families. The curriculum fair has come and gone. Homeschool catalogs have been pored over. Product reviews have been read. Now it’s decision time. Which math program am I going to purchase for my reluctant daughter? Is there anything that will motivate my teenage son to do more than sleep, eat, and play video games?

- Games in the “Classroom”
by Tammy M. Cardwell
It’s easy to invest all of your time, efforts, and finances in “real curriculum,” but often the best “curriculum” is one that doesn’t appear to be educational – a toy or a game that either teaches or reinforces learning on the sly.

- Stocking a Low Cost Library
by Beverly S. Krueger
Shelf space and cost are both barriers to collecting a decent homeschool library. Most eclectic homeschoolers like to use real books, and while the library is certainly a inexpensive option, owning the books that are key elements of curriculum is the ideal we all hope to reach. Assembling a low cost library is possible as Beverly explains.
- Theft by Any Other Name
by Tammy M. Cardwell
There is a scenario that plays out in homeschooling households all over. It begins with a homeschooling parent on a tight budget. Mom (or Dad) decides she must have a certain curriculum for her children, but it is costly. So, she develops a plan. She will purchase the curriculum, either photocopy the consumable pages or have her children do their work on notebook pages so that the book is preserved, and then she will resell the curriculum so that she can recoup some of her cost. Is this frugality or is it theft?

Curriculum Dependent No More
by Cyndy Shearer Added: 8/15/2004
It is probably happening in your own support group. Home schooling mothers sit nervously in living rooms, around picnic tables, in church gymnasiums. Then one of them rises, clears her throat and says, "Hello, my name is Mildred. And I am a recovering curriculum dependent."
On Grade Levels and Curriculum
by Lee Added: 8/15/2004
Whether you totally embrace unschooling or just learn to relax more, I think you'll find that when you "Let go and let G-d" be in charge of what, and how, and how much, and how fast your children learn rather than on what the 'experts' in our culture tell us they need, your children will be happier, and will learn more -- not just for some stupid test then forget the information as time goes on, but truly learn and be interested in retaining and building on that information.
