The Local Library – A Guaranteed Learning Adventure
Looking for a way to stretch your home school dollars? The local library is the answer. Since most of us operate on a modest income, finding ways to supplement curriculum for free is very helpful. Why purchase every creative thing you see when you can borrow?
As believers we are exhorted to be good stewards of our time and resources. Your local public library and/or the Christian school library associated with your home school group are excellent ways to be in God’s will when it comes to stewardship. Libraries offer internet access for research, computer learning games, books, magazines, reference materials, DVDs, CDs, tutoring, special monthly activities, and so much more.

What If Homeschooling High School Isn’t Working?
One of the advantages of homeschooling is the freedom to make changes when things aren’t working. With high school, remember that if it works you use it. If it doesn’t work, then stop using it and try something else.
Another major theme: You don’t have to teach. They just need to learn. You don’t necessarily have to teach ANYTHING in high school, you only have to make sure your children learn it. I didn’t know the answers to a lot of the math or science. You’d think I would because I’m a nurse, but it’s not true! I completely lost it with math about a month into Algebra 2. Everyone loses it in high school math – everyone. But, again, it’s not our job to learn the stuff. We just have to make sure our student learns the stuff.

For most single parents the biggest problem is simply one of finance because their primary goal has to be to get out and earn a living to support both themselves and their children. Surprisingly enough however the real problem is often not money but time.
