Homeschooling

Terrified, yet excited, I returned to public school freshman year after four and a half years of homeschooling. I was nervous about the transition back into public school and about the drastic changes in curriculum and protocol that I would need to adapt to. My first class on my first day was English with Mrs. Fix; I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher to begin my high school career with. Having a relaxed atmosphere in her classroom, Mrs. Fix is the perfect balance of teacher and friend to…

The No Child Left Behind Act has been one of the most controversial, daily-life changing events for children and teachers all across the United States. The No Child Left Behind Act (also known as NCLB) was passed by congress with the hopes of implementing a “one for all” fit into education. The main goal was to enhance the performance in minority, poor, special education, and english-second learner students. This all went wrong, though, when things like standardized testing and the goal to make…

than I was, their playing mesmerized me at every piano gathering I attended. At seventh grade, I stopped playing the piano for one year because I was playing too many instruments at one time and I couldn't handle it. By eighth grade, I had begun homeschooling and soon I was playing the piano once more. Overall, as much practice and time as is neccessary, a person is really unable to stay away from the…

sooner better than later, and made changes when she needed to. However, for me the idea of homeschooling is creating too much of a shelter. I believe there are “bad” teachers in school, the workplace and in life in general. The sooner we recognize how to deal with it, I believe the better off we are. It is a belief I think helps society learn how to live together in the best possible manner. For Stoke’s, homeschooling worked for her and I gave her credit although I would never consider this as a…

between John and Abigail Adamses helps us to see them as real people, not just characters from our History books. Despite their different levels of schooling, John having graduated from Harvard whereas Abigail’s schooling was a combination of homeschooling and self-taught, their letters demonstrate a similar intelligence (Baym and Levine 625-626). Their friendship is made obvious by Abigail’s attempts to find subjects that might interest John and limiting discussions of family, especially any…

is troublesome. Through politics and education, they wish the US to submit to a distinct perspective of Godliness, one that preaches submission, and that all rights are not equal. The Quiverfull movement is spread primarily through the homeschooling movement, it can be seen in…

up in a large homeschooling family, third oldest of seven and will be the first of my siblings to attend college. I hope to inspire my younger siblings and set an example for them to continue their education as well. Life is never dull with six siblings. My family relationships are very important to me, they are the anchors to the foundation of all that I am today. I have and will look to my family for support and at times guidance in my life. With that being said, homeschooling has also…

Once I came out and started homeschooling I ended up feeling a lot better. I was homeschooled all of middle school which was sixth through eighth grade. Once freshman year came around, I was getting tired of being at home all day every day. I ended up returning to public school that year, but I only attended for two periods of the day. My parents wanted for me to ease myself back into the public school system. By doing this, my parents turned to traditional homeschooling because that was my only…
