The Old Schoolhouse is a glossy, full-color magazine packed with information and articles that homeschoolers enjoy reading.
As homeschool parents, our goal is NOT to teach something. Our goal is for the kids to LEARN. I could have taught my kids “at grade level” and they would have not learned a thing. Instead, I gave them curriculum at their ability level, and then they had to learn something that they didn’t already know.
I believe that older teens MUST learn how to teach themselves. If they go to college, they will be expected to learn all the textbook material on their own. College lectures are most often supplemental to the textbook – not the same. If they don’t go to college, they will still have to teach themselves some computer skills, or online banking, or how to buy a car – whatever.

My friend Grace had this to say about “lazy summer day quiz” and made a suggestion…
This was a neat quiz - it would be fun to do at the supper table with thefamily. But I noticed that it was American written and that US points of interest were included, to the exclusive of anything in Canada. So then I thought it would make a fun project to list 8 - 10 of the key sights to see in Canada. So my question: what 10 MUST SEE Canadian sights would you
include?I'll start.
Must see Canadian sights:
1. Visited, camped or hiked in Banff Jasper National Park or Spent a
night at Banff Springs Hotel.
2. Visited Niagara Falls
3. Swam in Lake of the Woods
4. Visit the home of Anne of Green Gables
5. Toured our national capital - Ottawa
6. Whale watched in the St. Lawrence Seaway
7. Have been to the Artic Circle
8. Visited the oldest settled in North America: L Anse aux Meadows, in
Newfoundland.
9. Had a cuppa tea in Victoria
10. ?
So what would you include?

We are sheep, we have a wonderful Shepherd ready, willing, and able to lead us. However, some sheep focus so much on the fences or the wolf they ignore the loving shepherd who only wants the best for them.
