Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's not easy being a homeschooling parent today. Educating one's children is a huge responsibility. There seem to be more "answers" than there are questions! Everyone has a textbook, a method, or a philosophy. But how are we supposed to figure out just what path to take? For more than 25 years, Sherry Hayes, the homeschooling mother of 15 children, has been asking these same questions about education. During her own journey, she has read books and research by the most insightful and influential homeschooling leaders such as Dr. Raymond and Dorothy Moore, Ruth Beechick, Charlotte Mason, John Taylor Gatto, and many more. They were true pioneers of the current homeschool movement and all were dedicated to the welfare of children and their families. But how do we implement these ideals? Sherry's heart was burdened with the realization that there were many others just like her that were seeking a way to simplify their homeschooling into a coherent system which made room for individual personality and gifts, but at the same time gave each child structure as well as discipline. She came to realize that the modern educational systems and methods are strangely unique in our human history, and have failed us abysmally. Never before have we had so much knowledge at our fingertips, and yet, the literacy rates of our nation's school systems are at an all-time low. Despite the fact that we live in the information age; the divorce, homicide and suicide rates are at all-time highs. Our children face greater challenges today than we would have ever dreamed; nevertheless, many don't have the tools to handle these new demands and pressures. It is time we threw out the progressive educational philosophies and ideologies which have lead us here. We need to turn back the clock and promote the fear of God which is the beginning of wisdom. We must revive the unswerving Christian devotion that used to be lived out by our predecessors before the present narcissistic influence of humanism took over! We can rediscover the tools of learning that helped our forefathers overcome the great obstacles of their time, that have only recently been replaced by "dumbed-down" work texts and worthless statistics which require no higher thinking on the part of young learners. Homeschool Sanity: a Practical Guide to Redemptive Home Educating is Sherry's attempt to communicate a way back to common sense learning. It is a pathway back to the simplicity and joy of gaining the knowledge born out of reverence for the God of the Bible. It is a journey filled with the grace and truth of Jesus Christ. This book is easy to read. Even if one only has time for perusing, something useful and encouraging will be gleaned.

Even the busiest mother will be able to breathe a sigh of relief as she reads just how easy it is to give her children an education that will be a blessing to them for the rest of their lives! Here is a small portion of what I have included in Homeschool Sanity's 178 pages: An overview of the different methodologies of homeschooling along with a brief history of education in America Preschool Reading and literature Grammar Arithmetic History Science No fancy psycho-anything here. Sherry has rediscovered precisely why things used to work, and why they are so very broken today. She hopes to lead the way into a fresh effort to bring back the best of the past in order to prepare our children for the best possible future. Readers will discover a catalog of successful methodologies for their own re-education. You will not feel tired and anxious after you read this book; you will be refreshed and filled with real hope!

Download or read book Learning in Public written by Courtney E. Martin and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This "provocative and personally searching"memoir follows one mother's story of enrolling her daughter in a local public school (San Francisco Chronicle), and the surprising, necessary lessons she learned with her neighbors. From the time Courtney E. Martin strapped her daughter, Maya, to her chest for long walks, she was curious about Emerson Elementary, a public school down the street from her Oakland home. She learned that White families in their gentrifying neighborhood largely avoided the majority-Black, poorly-rated school. As she began asking why, a journey of a thousand moral miles began. Learning in Public is the story, not just Courtney’s journey, but a whole country’s. Many of us are newly awakened to the continuing racial injustice all around us, but unsure of how to go beyond hashtags and yard signs to be a part of transforming the country. Courtney discovers that her public school, the foundation of our fragile democracy, is a powerful place to dig deeper. Courtney E. Martin examines her own fears, assumptions, and conversations with other moms and dads as they navigate school choice. A vivid portrait of integration’s virtues and complexities, and yes, the palpable joy of trying to live differently in a country re-making itself. Learning in Public might also set your family’s life on a different course forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Step outside of the IEPs and behavioral paperwork currently generated in schools, go where disabled people are thriving today, and see the results in learning, growth, and expression. This authoritative book offers readers alternative ways to think about learning and behavior in special education. Through illustrative case studies and a disability studies lens, author Erin McCloskey uses the voices of people with disabilities to show how these students progress creatively outside the classroom and school building—at the dojo, the riding arena, the theater stage, the music studio, and other community-centered spaces where disabled students can make choices about their learning, their bodies, and their goals. Balancing theory and practice, the book describes alternative learning spaces, demonstrates how disabled students learn there, and passes on the important lessons learned in each space. The ideas apply to students of all ages with a wide variety of disabilities. Book Features: Uses the voices of people with disabilities to promote alternative ways to think about learning and behavior in special education.Presents rich case studies and briefer interludes to illustrate how disabled students are learning and thriving in surprising ways outside of school where they have opportunities to explore. Distills important key takeaways from each case study through chapter sections of “lessons learned.”Promotes informed discussion of the concepts in the book with questions at the end of each chapter. Combines theory and practice to help readers put the concepts into action in a variety of settings with a variety of disabled students.
