		<title>Education and progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The most often mentioned value of our society is education because it leads to progress. This progress can happen in various fields: social sciences, politics, natural sciences, communication, economy, technology or arts and culture. Depending on everybody’s personal interests, experiences, education and talents, people decide to specialize in one or the other fields to become professionals therein.

		<description><![CDATA[Unit studies use your child&#8217;s interest and then ties that interest into subject areas like math, reading, spelling, science, art, and history. For example, if you have a child who is interested in ancient Egypt, you would learn the history of Egypt, read books about Egypt, write stories about Egypt, do art projects about pyramids, and learn about Egyptian artifacts or mapping skills to map out a catacomb. Packaged unit studies are available on popular topics like the Little House and American Girl books and also for virtues like patience, trust, and obedience.

		<title>Arts and Crafts for Preschoolers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Virginia Tutors If you are the homeschooling parent of more than one child, has this ever happened to you? Breakfast is finished, chores are semi-done, and it&#8217;s time to get started with lessons. You settle in with your third-grader to work on his times tables and meanwhile your preschooler does one or more of the following: tease the cat, pour cereal onto the coffee table, pull every toy off the shelf and throw each across the room, or scream &#8220;Mommy!&#8221; or &#8220;I need you, Mom!&#8221; every two seconds in her effort to get your attention. As a homeschooling parent, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We always want to help children improve and increase their vocabularies. Here is another fun word game that will help familiarize your children with antonyms. To play the game, you will say a word, and they have to think of another word that is very different from the given word, or the opposite of the word.

		<title>&#8220;Relaxed&#8221; or &#8220;Eclectic&#8221; Homeschooling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Relaxed&#8221; or &#8220;Eclectic&#8221; homeschooling is the method used most often by homeschoolers. Basically, eclectic homeschoolers use a little of this and a little of that, using workbooks for math, reading, and spelling, and taking an unschooling approach for the other subjects. The advantage of this method is that the parent feels that the subjects they believe are most important are covered thoroughly. This method also allows the family to choose textbooks, field trips, and classes that fit their needs and interests.]]></description>

		<title>Homeschooling FAQ&#8217;s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Q: What is homeschooling? A: Homeschooling is the most flexible and diverse educational option available today. The variety of homeschooling styles reflects the diversity of the people who choose this method. Some families organize their homeschool the same as a traditional school, with the children studying the same subjects the same way as public school students. Some families use the opposite approach and &#8220;un-school&#8221; their children-a far less structured approach where the children&#8217;s schedule is determined by their interests and readiness. Most homeschoolers, however, use an eclectic approach that is partly structured and partly interest-based. This method allows parents to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Classical Homeschooling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The &#8220;classical&#8221; method began in the Middle Ages and was the approach used by some of the greatest minds in history. The goal of the classical approach is to teach people how to learn for themselves. The five tools of learning, known as the Trivium, are reason, record, research, relate, and rhetoric. Younger children begin with the preparing stage, where they learn basic reading, writing, and arithmetic. The grammar stage is next, which emphasizes compositions and collections, and then the dialectic stage, where serious reading, study, and research take place. All the tools come together in the rhetoric stage, where [...]]]></description>
