Finding hidden gems
When you visit a site like this, do you ever click the ads?
I ask because I know I rarely glance at the ads myself, and I think that is probably how most people are. However yesterday I was reading on a site and happened to glance over at the ads displayed along the side. One of the links caught my eyes so I clicked it.
The link was for a site that offered free homeschool planning help. Free? Yeah right, nothing is free anymore. But I trudged on, cynical and waiting for the “insert your credit card information here” to pop out at me, yet it never did. Still unsure I explored the site a little more, certain that it would be full of overly religious information and only helpful for those who homeschool eight hours a day at the table with a chalkboard against the wall. (No offense to those who do, it just can be a bit frustrating finding good homeschool information for those who don’t.) Instead the options were loose and free and could be molded for any homeschool style.
Now, I’m not the most organized person on the planet. In fact, organized is a word rarely heard in this house without the prefix un attached to it. I always claim I’m going to get organized, but it never happens. So after playing around with what this site has to offer, including a nice collection of encouraging articles, I’m enjoying what I found.
What I’m getting at, more than just my amazement at finding a great homeschool planning site, is not to judge a book by its cover. Or a site by its ads. Or a homeschooler by the stereotype.
Or something like that.
