Unschooling - Learning Through Everyday Life
by Suzannah Harris, editor of "The Unschooler" e-zine
Children are better off learning at home, away from the traditional teaching techniques offered by public and private schools. Unschoolers contend that none of us excels at everything, and to expect children to excel in all subjects is unrealistic and harmful to a child's self esteem, drawing children away from feeling useful, productive and involved in the mainstream of the community and society in general. Unschooling parents discover that there are many ways that different children learn the same things, that each child's view of the world is unique, and that choice of methods, tools, etc., can be in constant change.

Asperger's Syndrome
by Sue Spataro, RN, BSN
What is it & does your child have it?
AS is defined as a form of autism. It was "discovered" by Hans Asperger's back in 1944. It is stressful for kids with AS to interact with other kids and adults. Though they may desperately want to have friends they find that it's very hard to "read" and understand what others mean. It's as if they are "emotionally blind". Find out how to recognize AS in your child, what experts in the field have to say about this condition, and what you can do help make you life better.

Faces of Home Education
The entire world is OUR classroom
The term "homeschooling" is really a misnomer because for a home educator the entire world is the classroom. Home education is not just sitting at a desk looking a a musty text book. Anyone who has been homeschooling for a while knows that. That is why we have this new section called "Faces of Homeschooling." We are interested in snapshots of people who homeschool engaged in activities OUTSIDE of the home.

Meet the Authors
Mary & Michael Leppert
Co-author of "Homeschooling Almanac 2002-2003"
Interview & FREE Excerpt
They have compiled a wonderful resource for homeschoolers. It is a resource guide for books, magazines, catalogs, prepackaged materials, cybersources, specific homeschooling methods, religious references and more. It also features over $1000 of FREE coupons which could easily pay for the purchase price. I have the opportunity to interview Mary & Michael and they took the time to share their views with us on the homeschooling movement and a bit about their personal life with their children. We are also featuring a very nice excerpt from their book which is entitled, What Kind of Learner is Your Child. I hope everyone gets a chance to look at closely and use this information to help you in your homeschool program. They are very frank and their answers and the excerpt are easy to read.
