Parents Transitioning From Homeschooling To College

You made a decision to remove your child from institutional education. Your decision was based on several very good reasons. Each of the reasons you originally had for homeschooling your child are intensified as you consider college. Why not continue that quality decision to bring superior education directly into your home through books, videos, cassettes, and the internet?

You made a decision to remove your child from institutional education. Your decision was based on several very good reasons. And if you are like most homeschooling parents, you were happily rewarded for your decision. Homeschoolers' grades average two years ahead of public school students' grades. In addition, homeschooled children have proved to be more socially adaptive than their public school counterparts.

Avoid Dangerous Environments
Each of the reasons you originally had for homeschooling your child are intensified as you consider college. Humanism, rationalism, secularism, and hedonism run rampant on most American campuses, even Christian colleges. Some of these schools have teachers and programs that actively promote these harmful lifestyles. Why suddenly expose your child to these trap-falls? It is important to choose a college that will not put your child in danger or overly expose them to temptation. You can also choose a college that allows you to continue homeschooling.

Continue An Education Method That Works
Additionally, when you homeschooled your child, you personalized their education and made their curriculum specific to the childs needs and talents. Thats one of the great advantages of homeschooling over traditional education. So, why now expose your child to a learning approach in college that will take him years to overcome (if he ever overcomes it at all)? Why not continue that quality decision to bring superior education directly into your home through books, videos, cassettes, and the internet? Let proven Christian professors help you mentor your child as he emerges into adulthood in the safety and purity of your home, rather than the bastions of humanism and rebellion which pervade most American campuses.

Following Gods Direction
You chose the best, years ago. Now, why not stay with the best decision, and carry out God's mandate for PARENTS to train up their children? Perhaps God's way is best after all. We know it sounds far-fetched to our secularized minds. But most of us know that by honoring God's ways, we come out far ahead in life, regardless of how distanced from current sociological trends God's principles and ways appear. Why not continue your experiment in educating your child God's way, and prove to your society that God was right all along?

There Are Other Options
There are many Christian colleges and Christian theology seminaries that offer online or distance learning courses. These options allow your child to continue their studies at home and gain the insight and education from college professors. Additionally, some online Bible colleges offer the LAMAD education format which can allow your child to avoid the flawed traditional education method and excel in their learning.

Just because your child is getting ready to attend college, doesnt mean that you have to abandon the things that caused you to choose homeschooling in the first place. Do some online searches and find a Christian university which offers online courses and teaches with methods that work.

The Power of Appreciation

Is there anything more mysterious in theworld than the formula to having a successful romantic relationship? Asa divorced woman, I now marvel at those who are able to createpassionate, loving, long-term relationships. From my studies with booksand the school of hard knocks, I believe that one of the most importantingredients in relationships, of all kinds, is appreciation. What is Appreciation? Appreciation is likea much-needed rainfall to a farmer's crops that have been withering ina drought. Just as the crops start to shrivel and die without water,human relationships also start to feel brittle without a steadyapplication of the nourishing, even life-giving, impacts ofappreciation. The dictionary defines appreciation as "a favorablecritical estimate," "sensitive awareness" and "an expression ofadmiration, approval or gratitude."

Attic Fans

Attic and roof ventilation allows excess heat and moisture to escape at home to reduce summer cooling costs, pre-mature deterioration of roofing materials and condensation can lead to costly repairs. Effective attic ventilation relies on natural convection to pull air from the top to the bottom position, often in the open in Sofia, and the exhaust hot air from the ceiling vent in a higher position, such as through a gable, or open. Many new and existing homes are not ceilings, and its architecture can not afford soffits perforations for ventilation.
