I thought readers might be interested in this blog, which is written by an American who was herself home educated. It gives an insight into the world of American home education. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/lovejoyfeminism/homeschooling
Interesting articles but then it is very difficult to translate the US HE scene into the UK; I know that there are some Vision Forum fans here but actually more churches are anti HE I think than for it ( I have heard the view expressed that it stops mothers being able to fully commit to the work of the church, plus all the "salt and light " reasoning about involvement in schools)
' actually more churches are anti HE I think than for it '
Step forward the Catholic Church in particular! I don't know if any of this is really relevant to the British scene, I just thought that a formerly home educated feminist's slant on the subject was worth reading about.
