Look who is following along the home school trail!

Quite a story!

So, after you follow this link, come back and tell me this:

If any of these new homeschooling citizens run afoul of their government,

and turn to the US for assistance,

will THEY be ostracized, here, as the German families have been?

Hmm?

Does your toddler know enough? Do you know how to tell?

Toddler vaccuum

“Most of the answers left me not only saddened, but pretty soundly annoyed. One mom posted a laundry list of all of the things her son knew. Counting to 100, planets, how to write his first and last name and on and on. Others chimed in with how much more their children already knew, some who were only 3. A few posted URL’s to lists of what each age should know. The fewest yet said that each child develops at his own pace and not to worry.”

So began a tale that ends much more peacefully, and begins here. Read and enjoy.

Okay, friends and family: Today my eye doctor pronounced my left eye “PERFECT!”, according to the ultrasound they did.
I am excited, as was he. I think he felt pretty proud of himself for being part of returning health to my left eye.
He also said, “IF we can get it to HOLD…” meaning if it stays this way and doesn’t revert to it’s old habit of leakage.
I had non-diabetic macular edema. (nDME)
So we know how to pray, right?
Thanks!

A Fair College Fair!

Friends, I just found some exciting news about a new overview of US colleges. You might want to check this out:

Unlike U.S. News and World Report and similar guides, this one asks not what colleges can do for you, but what colleges are doing for the country. Are they just catering to the affluent? Are they improving the quality of their teaching, or ducking accountability for it? Are they trying to become more productive—and if so, why is average tuition rising faster than health care costs? Every year we lavish billions of tax dollars and other public benefits on institutions of higher learning. This guide asks: Are we getting the most for our money?
