I received an email on an email list the other day that I thought would be fun to share:
Driven to Educate - A Field Trip Across America - Have you lost your mind?
Those of us stuck in the snowstorms in the Midwest today might get some sunny relief from these families who are homeschooling on the road.
Families Hittin' the Road
 Life
as a homeschooler and in constant daily contact with a highly gifted student
brings an energy I can't explain, yet drains me; makes me think about
things in a new way, yet causes me to stick with tried and true methods;
makes me strive for accomplishing all the tasks I need to, yet causes
me to think forward to the time my student will go to bed and I can have
a cup of tea and listen to Jimmy Buffet in peace and quiet. Eclectic.
That's the description of the path I am enjoying on my journey right now.
Eclectic is also our homeschool "style". We do what works. We
dig in the dirt or the beach sand, we kayak on rivers, we read, we travel..... |

There are a few rules I live by:
Good
judgment comes from the experiences gained when exercising bad judgment.The
biggest trouble-maker you will ever have to deal with watches you brush
your hair in the mirror every morning.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by
the moments that take our breath away.
Here's who I am:
I
believe that today's public school system is failing for the most
part, though I continue to support it through taxes and buying magazine
subscriptions from 8 year olds. I
believe that you can be whatever you want to be.
I firmly believe that you can gain an incredible education by
studying at home.
