What Is Homeschooling and How Do I Know If It's Right FOr My Family?Written by Anita York
What is Homeschooling And How Do I Know If It's Right For My Family? Do you know what these famous people have in common? Alexander Graham Bell George Patton Albert Einstein Benjamin Franklin Winston Churchill Agatha Christie George Bernard Shaw Will Rogers If you guessed that they were all homeschoolers, you'd be correct. This is a very short list of famous and successful people who were educated at home. If you would like to expand this list, do a search on Internet for ?famous homeschoolers.? There are many websites that list these people and some provide detailed biographies. There is even a book called, aptly, ?Famous Homeschoolers,? by Nancy and Malcolm Plant. (http://www.fun-books.com/specials.htm) The point here is to get into mindset that people can be educated and become successful adults without attending public school. And because I can almost ?hear? what you are thinking, no, it is not necessary to have a high school diploma to go to college. So what is homeschooling? In broadest sense, homeschooling is educating your children at home. You, as parent, become teacher. Parents homeschool for more reasons than you can imagine. Some want to avoid having their children exposed to violence and peer pressure. Some homeschool so that they can make sure their children's education adheres to their religious beliefs. Some live a different lifestyle?perhaps they travel a lot?and want their children's schooling to be flexible enough to fit around that life style. And some, like me, simply enjoy being with their children. They don't want public school to interrupt and weaken parent/child bond that they have been working hard to create for first five years of their child's life. Just as there are many reasons to homeschool, there are many methods of homeschooling. All way from ?un-schooling? (learning by doing, learning from life, not using textbook type materials) to ?school at home? (using textbooks at desks set up in a schoolroom at home) and everything in between. It's very easy to find hundreds of homeschool Websites by using a search engine, but just to get you started, try: Jon's Homeschool Resource Page http://www.midnightbeach.com/hs/ When I decided to write this article, I thought hard about what I could offer that wasn't being displayed on thousands of Websites on Internet. I realized that only thing I have to offer anyone interested in homeschooling is?my experience. So everything in article below comes from my fifteen years of experience homeschooling my four youngest children. I hope it is of some use to you. Deciding to homeschool your child may be one of most important decisions you ever make as a parent, and it will take a lot of thought and soul searching. To newcomer, it may seem impossible, overwhelming and very, very lonely. But like most huge obstacles, once it's broken down into smaller pieces, it becomes manageable. We'll take it one step at a time, in small enough chunks to get a hold of. So, if you're game, roll up your sleeves and let's get to work figuring out if homeschooling is for you and your child. First things first. Organization is key. Get a three-ring binder (homeschooling parent's LOVE three-ring binders) and put a label on front. (If you've made transition to digital record keeping, you can just start a folder on computer. But it's not as much fun.) Label it something serious, like ? My Homeschooling Plans? or ?Homeschooling Thoughts.? Put some paper in binder, find a really comfortable ink pen, and sit down somewhere quiet. Ready? Good. Now, let's get started. What are your reasons for considering homeschooling? Even if you haven't actually made decision to homeschool, fact that you are here reading this article says you are curious. Perhaps you honestly don't know answer yet?and that's ok. The remainder of this article is going to try to help you start to find those answers. Homeschooling is legal in all 50 states, but each state has it's own set of laws that must be followed. Compulsory (how I hate that word) education here in Washington State starts at age of 8. Even though I had been homeschooling him from birth, to stay legal once my son reached 8-years old, I was required to become ?certified.? That meant I either had to have two years of college education, or take a ?certification class.? I met this requirement by taking an independent correspondence class, during which I was asked to put on paper my goals, philosophies and reasons for wanting to homeschool. I'd like to help you do same right now. Start a page--either ?tree? kind or a file on computer?and title it ?My Educational Beliefs.? List what personal beliefs you have about education?especially education of your own children. Get as detailed as you can here--the value is in thinking process behind list. Take your time, I'm in no hurry.

Primeval Earth Energy The SequelTransmissions. Say we now throw in a data memory facility to PEE. Take dowsing, where PEE is sent to earth by brain saying Gold or China or Water or whatever is being searched for then having received a mental confirmation tag on that brain thinks what depth. Sounds far fetched doesn’t it but that is exactly what dowsers do, via rod or pendulum. Just try a pendulum 29 inches long over a gold bracelet or ring. Think find gold and it circles bracelet then think how many inches below pendulum, and circle that many times and stop. And it does, doesnt it. Is this far fetched, after all, you just did it yourself. Anyone can. Surely something is communicating between brain and pendulum and object, why not intelligent memory PEE, which can pass from body to earth pre programmed by brain. Take this in tandem with sound waves and we see path clear for hypnotism, as PEE passes over sound waves between brains a step further, telepathy sans sound but still energy transference with data memory, no more odd than wireless computer comms same energy being involved so eventually message could be contained in energy itself between computers perhaps. Deja vu could well be stray PEE being seen twice like a rebound, similar to synchronicity being a pointer PEE left from a previous attempt by someone elses research being triggered by your own need of self same data object. Look at telekinesis, poltergeists and ESP in a similar vein . Try thinking on avenues for this yourself. It fits in . On a totally different tack, if there is so much surface attrition, for so very very long on surface of Earth due to geological or man made disharmony and disaster, and conversely there is so much warmth, shelter and ley line PEE flowing freely and abundantly underground from pole to pole, then surely it makes sense that there must be beings living underground where energy is easily tapped into, there is no need for heating or shelter from elements and light sources fuelled by PEE could easily support and sustain abundant crops coupled with unquenchable water supplies. Perhaps extra and differing energy could also be gleaned from tree roots underground, maybe thats why they are called tap roots. In event of a meteor disaster or nuclear holocaust I would imagine we would be forced underground anyway whether we liked it or not, and there is no reason to suppose this has not happened before. Next time we will finish our trilogy with a glimpse into pre history and our future. Malc pugh copyright may 27th 2004 Primeval Earth Energy Pre History and our future. Down centuries all previous efforts of man are relegated to being pathetic attempts at civilisation falling short of our own lofty standards. No credence is given to a possibility that perpetrators were at least as accomplished as us, if not superior. Many of these artefacts and achievements will in any event have been swallowed up by time, eroding and rusting and decomposing and decaying until only most durable edifices survive in any case. Even pyramids and Sphinx were originally covered in an outer coating long since flaked off most of their surfaces. Yet we seem to treat all pre history as being infinitely subordinate to our own science. Take this one example, Pyramids. There is sufficient evidence to suppose a flow of energy is generated simply by their being there. This may well be tapping into PEE centuries before us, yet we still struggle on on oil, gas and nuclear fuels, all finite and some with distinctly problematic by products. So who is more advanced if this were case. The proliferation of pyramids all over globe prompted speculation it was copy cat after Egyptians, and perhaps before that Atlanteans, who may have been even more advanced, but their satellite states like Egypt may have only retained technology until it stopped working or no one remained who knew how to keep it going. In this case is it not probable that Pyramids, wherever their location, were actually forms of power stations. I find many previously inexplicable things in antiquity take on a fresh meaning too when viewed in light of Primeval Earth Energy. More recently, nothing has caused more speculation than Philadelphia experiment, well documented by others and needing no help from me. The intention, apparently, was to make destroyer, Eldridge, invisible. The means were disputed, but I believe were four huge Tesla coils, two attached to each side of hull. Taking my previous examples of magnets being able to deflect or absorb Primeval Earth Energy to create a void, or nothingness in between them , where possibly spacecraft could lift off sans gravity as we deem it, then in this case we have a ship and men in somewhere there should be nothingness when coils were switched on. Presumably this is what was intended to promote invisibility. However, a ship and men cannot be a ship and men AND nothingness. Where can it go. It could perhaps shift into a massless state and move in time. Which is virtually what has been described in what happened if you read about it. But men were still moving so when it all was turned off, mass reasserted itself, with apparent grisly and grotesque consequences reported physically. Let us now consider this further. The survivors often went into a FREEZE where they were STUCK in time. Is it not possible this is because their bodies had some PEE from time of experiment, and some from where and when they ended up, reputedly Montauk, in another time entirely. If so, surely there would be a contrary pull at times by different constituent PEE trying to get back to their own Earth time frame, with men being caught in between so to speak, until one PEE transcended for a time. This would explain some of them walking through walls and disappearing in middle of a fight, widely attested as true by onlookers. If time is involved matter can not be it would seem, and also PEE seems to carry a time stamp with it.
