The Homeschooling Father, How and Why I got started by Salatiso Pdf

"A courageously and brilliantly written, tell-it-like-it-is summation of the challenges endemic in education in Mzansi—and elsewhere, frankly—and the knock-on effect that permeates society and employment. With its entrenched culture of entitlement, patronage, cadre deployment, and good old-fashioned construction mafia shakedowns, the narrative is both gripping and enlightening. More refreshing still is the hope offered by the author in the way of solutions and a can-do spirit; not just another list of only problems. This author and writing is one of South Africa’s best-kept secrets, as far as I am concerned. Among other things, it is inspiring me to seriously contemplate homeschooling my children—though it covers so much more ground than that alone. Do yourself a favour and read this work. Share it widely and often. Kudos, Salatiso. Thanks for the inspiration." James (Jimmy) Duly, MSc Adult Ed, World’s Most Reality-based Operations Management at University of KwaZulu-Natal

Rebuilding Catholic Culture by Ryan Nathan Scott Topping,Ryan Topping Pdf

Rarely does a book come along that so succinctly explains the decline of modern culture, articulates a defense of the Church's teachings, and offers a hope-filled path for building a civilization grounded in Catholic truth. In these pages, Dr. Ryan Topping does all three, pulling back the curtain on the false philosophies of the secularists and showing that in the West today the most formidable threat to freedom is not failing economies or Islam, but secularism. Our best defense, he claims, is a vibrant Catholic culture, and our best hope for creating it lies in the principles found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. In Rebuilding Catholic Culture, you'll discover sensible ways to begin restoring Catholic culture - right now-in your own life and family, and in our larger communities as well: in the theater, in the classroom, in our hospitals, and even in the public square. This profoundly accessible book will renew your confidence in the world-transforming character of our Creed and in the potency of our Faith to shape and redefine the culture of the West.

The Year of Learning Dangerously by Quinn Cummings Pdf

A year of homeschooling. What could possibly go wrong? In this honest and wry memoir, popular blogger, author, and former child actor Quinn Cummings recounts her family’s decision to wade into the unfamiliar waters of homeschooling – the fastest-growing educational trend of our time -- despite a chronic lack of discipline, some major gaps in academic knowledge, and a serious case of math aversion. (And that’s just Quinn.) Quinn’s fearless quest includes some self-homeschooling – reading up on education reform, debating the need for “socialization,” and infiltrating conferences filled with Radical Unschoolers as well as Christian fundamentalists (and even chaperoning a homeschool prom). Part personal narrative, part social commentary, and part how-not-to guide, The Year of Learning Dangerously will make you laugh and make you think. And there may or may not be a quiz at the end. OK, there’s no quiz. Probably.

The Homeschooling Parent by Kerridwen Mangala McNamara Pdf

So you've decided to homeschool. There's too much information out there and all of it is about what to do with your KIDS. There's precious little about what life is like for the Homeschooling Parent - and you want to know about things like... how will you socialize without school to help you get to know your kids' friends and their parents? what is it really like being home all day with your kids? why do other parents choose to homeschool? how are you ever going to handle high school (or middle school)? what are you going to do if you don't want to do this anymore? If it's way too hard? And the BIG Question: Are you going to fail your kids? This book is for YOU, the homeschooling parent (and for your support system of adults, though it's written for you). In these pages I will show you how to cope with teaching, chores, fears, and many of the everyday things that make us all stress out like crazy. Let me share with you the lessons learned from my six active kids (ages 20 down through 9 as of September 2022) and fifteen years of "formal" homeschooling, my experience running numerous homeschooling groups (for both parents and kids)... and from being a homeschooled kid (2nd-12th grades) myself. Your kid - and you - may have different ambitions, but let me tell you about how I - and my two homeschool graduates - have been accepted and successfully attended selective colleges in the USA. And the sports... yes, we've done sports as well as academics. And let me help you start (or continue) on your homeschooling journey as a friend who has gone this way first and hopes to smooth the road for you.

The Fringe Hours by Jessica N. Turner Pdf

Every woman has had this experience: you get to the end of the day and realize you did nothing for you. And if you go days, weeks, or even months in this cycle, you begin to feel like you have lost a bit of yourself. While life is busy with a litany of must-dos--work, parenting, keeping house, grocery shopping, laundry and on and on--women do not have to push their own needs aside. Yet this is often what happens. There's just no time, right? Wrong. In this practical and liberating book, Jessica Turner empowers women to take back pockets of time they already have in their day in order to practice self-care and do the things they love. Turner uses her own experiences and those of women across the country to teach readers how to balance their many responsibilities while still taking time to invest in themselves. She also addresses barriers to this lifestyle, such as comparison and guilt, and demonstrates how eliminating these feelings and making changes to one's schedule will make the reader a better wife, mother, and friend. Perfect for any woman who is doing everything for everyone--except herself--The Fringe Hours is ideal for both individuals and small group use.

A Little Way of Homeschooling by Suzie Andres Pdf

Andres and 12 other Catholic homeschoolers describe how they implement an "unschooling" style of teaching in their homes. Drawing from St. Therese, St. John Bosco, John Holt, and ancient philosophers, the families paint a picture of authentic education without the constraints and pitfalls of typical modern education.
