June 16, 2006, Newsletter Issue #132: A Common Belief of Both Christian and Secular Homeschooling

Tip of the Week

Are you nervous about sending your child to a public school? Many parents are unwilling to subject their children to such learning environments, which are often rife with such vices drinking, drugs, sex, violence, and sexual abuse.

Although, traditionally, homeschooling has been practiced more in Christian communities than communities at large, there has been an increasing trend towards home schooling in general, as that parents wish to protect their children from the aforementioned ills of public schools, and to instill in their children their own set of beliefs, whether they be Christian, secular, or otherwise.

If you're nervous about sending your student to a dangerous public school, home schooling is a very real alternative that you should consider.

The new 2006-2007 Sonlight catalog is hot off the presses! In addition to new educational resources, we've also made some significant improvements to our curriculum, such as expanded flexibility in Reader choices for Levels K through 2.

The catalog also provides several articles with helpful homeschool tips. For example, check out the "Top Ten Goals" article (pp. 146-147) which can help you think through your personal philosophy when it comes to homeschooling. And "Why we use certain books that some homeschoolers won't touch" (pp. 144-145), that gets into some pretty important issues about the content of books. And you won’t want to miss “27 Reasons NOT to Buy Sonlight”—a perennial favorite (beginning on page 148).
