And The Sun Shined Down

by

sunshineAs the weather warms up I find it harder and harder to sit down and write. Is anyone else having that trouble? Water wars, bike riding, lounging under trees, and digging in the dirt take up most of my time. When I do sit down specifically to write I feel so distracted by the sunshine and birds nothing much gets done. So, instead of trying to write something here I’m going to just share a few links that have caught my eye recently. Happy reading!

  • How much homework do K-12 students need? - There is certainly a case against homework being presented by many people looking into education. This is a great article with some helpful links for exploring it more.
  • The Education Industrial Complex - Commitment to education that involves more than just putting more money into the schools. What a radical concept. Except, it isn’t.
  • Homeschooling Part One - Doc said this was a great post, and she was certainly right. A great look at one family’s coming into homeschooling from a hilarious mom.
  • Family On Bikes - OK, so an entire blog rather than a post, but I realized that I forgot to do a shout out a couple weeks ago after I was left a comment so I had to share them now. One family, biking from Alaska to Argentina.
  • The Price of Homeschooling - It’s been said before and deserves to be said again, home education does not have to cost a lot of money. You can do it for free with a little effort and creativity.

OK, now I’m going back to playing with the kids some more.

    I’m having a hard time staying focused as well! It’s too nice out to be cooped up in the house!

    Thanks for the link!
