Overcoming the 3 Most Discouraging Questions to Homeschool Teachers – Part 3
Published by admin on October 27, 2011
I’ve been homeschooling my children since 
my oldest was 2 years old. I’ve come across many supportive people and a few not so supportive ones. Unfortunately, it’s these discouraging naysayers whose comments and questions linger the longest with me, most likely because I’m not usually snappy and sarcastic to strangers- so I often replay the things I could have said differently. Among all the questions I get asked, there are 3 that seem to pop up the most. Sadly they are also the most discouraging. Whenever I get asked these questions I try to think about how the Lord would answer them-so to accomplish this, I must go right to the Scriptures.

The Role of a Midwife Through Your Pregnancy
Published by admin on October 25, 2011
A midwife is a specialist in low-risk pregnancy, 
childbirth, and the postpartum period. Midwives typically encourage normal, natural childbirth and support women to achieve a healthy pregnancy and baby. Midwives typically practice in clinics, hospitals, birth centres, and homes. Depending on the laws of the state or country, midwives may participate in childbirth occurring in hospitals and in homebirths.
In the United States, there are two recognized types of midwives: nurse-midwives and direct-entry midwives. Certified nurse-midwives are typically licensed as advanced practice nurses, midwives, or nurse-midwives depending on the laws of the state that issues the license. Certified midwives have education and a degree in nursing, midwifery, or gynaecology. Certified nurse-midwives are also able to prescribe and dispense medication in every state in the United States. Nurse-midwives typically work in hospitals and medical clinics.
Barbie: Is She Evil or Good?
Published by admin on October 24, 2011
Over the past decade there has been attack after 
attack criticizing the message that one of Mattel’s most popular toys, Barbie, is sending to young girls. Critics claim that Barbie is giving young girls an unrealistic perception of body image. Although I may be several years behind in adding my voice to the argument, I would like to add my opinion now: I completely reject the idea that Barbie causes girls to have idealistic visions of the human body. Barbie actually teaches children to have pride in their bodies and learn how to beautify them. If there are girls that do have body image issues, I suggest you first look at their mom before you falsely accuse Barbie.
The point of owning a Barbie doll isn’t so that a little girl can stare at it and say, “I want to look like that!”. Imagine a 5-year-old doing that everyday! It’s a ridiculous idea. What makes little girls love Barbie dolls is the fact that they get to create new outfits for her and do her hair in interesting ways. So rather than teaching girls that they aren’t pretty, Barbie is basically a training tool for them to learn how to beautify themselves. And when someone feels beautiful, their self-confidence rises and they are more successful in school, work, relationships, and just life in general.

Teaching vs. Encouraging Learning: A Frazzled Parent’s Story
Published by admin on October 17, 2011
I’ll be honest with you—early childhood 
education was not my major in college, and I have never worked for a primary school. And that’s exactly why I’m the perfect one to write this post.
I used to work as an English as a Second Language (ESL) instructor, so I thought I knew a thing or two about teaching. My students regularly progressed and even requested that I progress with them to continue teaching them higher courses. So when my wife and I, parents of one, said yes we would love to babysit ten children, eight of whom homeschooled, we thought we had it covered.

Education Perspectives: Student-Based Solutions
Published by JesseLangley on October 14, 2011
Few people disagree that our current education model has problems. Trying to get a handle on fixing these problems is difficult—especially when we can’t even agree on what the problems are. Teachers, parents and school administrators all have different perspectives. But the perspective often missing completely from the education conversation is from students themselves. Finding solutions that are student based could be a good beginning and identifying what works may produce more results than trying to figure out what doesn’t.
